+ greenhouse

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory He watched with silent condolence. He had seen a few pregnancies in his lifetime, even helped with a couple. He knew his way around a pregnancy and knew it was not good for the mother of the child to emit such stress sensors. This was a time of joy. Not a time of mourning. Sighing softly to himself, he sat on the edge of the marbled fountain. His hand gently sought out her own and he took it with the utmost care. "It is perfectly normal for a woman to get emotional during such a beautiful time. I have seen many women become agitated and sad, even elated, at the tip of a dime. But it is on the people around her to ensure she is calm, safe and attended too. There have been a few instances when a woman loses her child due to stress... and I do not wish that on you," he whispered, leveling his tone to a soft calm. He recounted the times he found mothers mourning the death of their child. Though he may never know the depths of that pain, he could empathize with the distraught mothers. Some even went so far as to try and commit suicide to reunite with their fallen children. "If there is anything I can assist you with, my Princess, please do not be afraid to ask."

@❈♞ Yan Sheng " oh no no Yan, you dont have to ask...i was just needing some space to myself" she looked ahead staring at the plants. She was quiet due to not being use to have company other than her lover. " the child's baby...Ammon as the queen of sekhmets wanted...he is busy with thing so yeah..." she mumbled feeling a bit emotional at the moment. Looking back at the male, she smiled a bit although her eyes were watery. " ah im sorry, i just....get emotional with my pregnancy...i wonder if this happens with human women" she wondered if the other knew since he looked very wise and the way he spoke gave her that feeling. She had so many things to learn during her pregnancy and soon as her baby grew up. " sometimes i wish i had my mom with me....i don't even know how to carry a baby, I think I am pretty lost in that department" her sigh came out softly as she rubbed her tummy feeling the kicks ever once in a while.

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory The joy from the woman caught Yan off guard. Such bound from a small stature that carried new life. Worry spiked in him and he moved smoothly to try and catch her before she righted herself. His brows furrowed together with confusion. Who would allow her out of the palace without an ? Surely the royals had more sense than this. This was an outrage; a travesty. In his time a pregnant women was a jewel. She was attended to at every stage of her pregnancy and always had a consort by her side. Leaving her would mean imminent danger and within the royal household that would mean death. "Princess Ely, no need for formalities with me," he whispered, watching her with collected crimson eyes as she sat down. She was right to protect her baby as she did; Yan was a stranger. He graciously accepted her invitation to sit, deeming it alright to keep the lady company until she was safely returned to the palace. "I am Yan Sheng, from the House of Tepes," he started, bowing his head. Snowy curtains of hair spilled over his shoulders as he bowed, lifting himself to straightened himself in her presence. "Forgive my rudeness, my princess... I have forgotten to introduce myself. You have dont nothing to warrant me an apology, my Princess. Please... allow me to keep you company."

@❈♞ Yan Sheng Ely hadnt even realized that there was someone heading her way. Suddenly there was a whisper near that made her jump a bit quickly covering her swollen belly. She looked up at the man, confused on who he was and how did he find her. Standing rather quickly, she bowed but felt too dizzy to stand straight again. " princess ely at your service " she said quickly not wanting to sound rude. Sitting back down, she whimpered a bit. " I dont have....an elite " she said sadly. It was a shame to not have somone near her but Ely also didnt know how to turn someone due to her young age. " I'm sorry, i didnt get your name" she looked up at the tall man. Her mind started wondering, which house was he from? He seemed calm and down to earth. Maybe he was from the house of Lamia. Rubbing her belly, she patted the spot next to her for the male to sit down. " its nice to have company, I dont usually go out much from my room so seeing new faces bring joy to me " a soft smile appeared on her lips before she looked down. " hopefully I didnt bother you or anything" she whispered not wanting to be a bother for someone.

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory To say he was a ghost was an understatement. The man walked with an air of mystery, seeming to float rather than bounce with each step. And perhaps he was; the robes he wore added to the ambiance. Satin and silk fluttering in the wind as the long tendrils of his snowy hair met them halfway. Today was no exception. He rose before the sun, saw to Taehyung's needs and then excused himself to have time to center himself and really connect with nature. The gardens was yesterday and today... well, today he would fancy a visit to the greenhouse. It was newly opened and already he heard high praises for its beauty and tranquility. Perhaps that is where he would spend his few fleeting hours of silence before the Eldest Prince once more sought out his company. The doors to the greenhouse opened softly before letting in the Dream Walker. He moved through the tranquil, lush scenery with a sigh of reprieve. Solace was found here. Silence was found here. That is.. until he hears the soft chime of a woman's voice. It floated on the air and rang softly in his ears, getting louder as he approached. On the soft zephyr he could smell it... a baby. So a mother-to-be sat within the reaches of nature. Turning the corner he was greeted with the sight if a glowing Bathory, basking in the retreating moments of pregnancy and talking softly to the growing creature within her. "Princess," he whispered, allowing himself to be seen, "where is your consort? why are you alone in such a fragile state?"

@❈♞ Yan Sheng Ely was never the type to go out much. She rather stay inside and read a book or two than to worry about was going around her. After all, everything seemed to be under control. While her lover was busy, she had decided to take a walk around to get her blood flowing and feel the fresh air around her. Fixing her dress, she set her book back in the shelves and walked down. Placing a hand on her swollen belly, she slowly went down the stairs after learning her lesson when she almost tripped. She had become clumsy as her pregnancy term continued and it was getting worse to the point where she would rather stay in bed but not today. Making her way down and to the lower level, she opened the doors to the green houses. She was greeted by butterflies flying from one side to the other. The silence and calmness of the greenhouse reminding her once again that everything would be okay. Closing the door, she placed her two hands on her belly and began walking around while whispering to her unborn child. Even if it was just her voice, she wanted him to know. " I cant wait to meet you..." she cooed slowly approaching a bench to sit on. " it's just you and me oh and plus a few butterflies and small birds" she smiled fondly upon hearing the soft callings of the birds to which her baby kicked a bit when feeling her touch. " you like that?" She asked knowing there wouldn't be a reply but it was a moment she would cherish.
