Even when there is no star in sight, you'll always be my only guiding light
Nestling her friend like she remembered her mother doing for her, Seren hummed soothing, meaningless noises in the silence while Maeve considered. It was a relief to know that at least physically there was nothing wrong, but just as hard to realize that the body was far easier to mend than broken hearts.
"I wish I understood too. We talked at the feast, and I thought he seemed tense then. But I had no idea it would break out into this." She made an abrupt gesture with a hand, and night followed in its wake - a paint stroke of darkness and distant stars that soon dissippated. "If you need help with anything, you know I'll do what I can. I don't know anything about babies, but I can learn."
Her acceptance of Maeve's choice was utter and immediate, no questions asked. Seren squeezed her friend closer, into a hug that might border on the painful.
"Congratulations, Maeve. You're having a baby. You're going to be a mother." Nothing could be more fitting, or appropriate.
