Vai takes Hotaru's hand, her own already pulsing softly with light. The other moves to her arm, and she reaches deep within herself to the well of healing magic, letting it pour out and into the woman in her bed, soothing cuts and fading bruises, helping to lower her temperature and generally easing any aches and pains. She can't really do much for the contractions - and that's what they are, Vai realises straight away, though she'll get to that in a moment - because first there's another bomb to drop. One that she hadn't noticed before.
But Remi's apology rings out to her, Vai blinking open eyes that she hadn't realised were closed. She raises an eyebrow in Hotaru's direction. "Don't speak about my son that way," she says softly, and though the pulse of her fingers is sweet and gentle, there's no doubt that were it not for the current circumstances, she'd be a lot more sharp.
"You're welcome," she murmurs. "Now let's get you comfortable. You've got babies to meet."
