Vervain
even the darkest night
will end

"I know," Vai says softly, managing a smile and reaching out one of her hands to brush her fingers across his cheek. "And I appreciate the heads up this time, you have no idea." Letting out a long sigh, the light takes on a golden quality now, as if the sun has begun to set. The flowers calm, the trees sway softly. And when Vai smiles again, she seems a lot more calm. "Then bring her through," she tells him, leaning in to press a kiss to his forehead.
"And try to keep yourself together, okay? Babies don't just appear within a few minutes. If she only thinks she might be in labour, we probably have a lot of time." Another kiss, another squeeze to his hand. "Just get yourselves out of the desert. We might even have time to move her somewhere in the Sidhe Village, or the Sea of Branches. Somewhere with enough space..." Her mind is already ticking over the possibilities, Vai furrowing her brow before letting him go again.
"I'll be ready when you are."
