"Thank you," Koshchei says, smiling softly. "Take time to learn, but earth is in me."
Skellig hears someone's footsteps approaching quickly. The red head he saw sleeping earlier feels worried, her clothes hastily pulled on. "Oh, we have company!" she blurts out, startled as she sees them through the doorway. She shakes her head. "Koshchei, Ludmilla has gone into labor!" Koshchei stares at her in utter incomprehension.
Kreyu stands, gathers her bag. "I have trained with a midwife," she says.
"Oh, thank the gods! I, we, don't know what to do."
"It might help if you can boil some water, put some clean rags in the boiling water for a while. They will be useful, later." Kreyu tells Koshchei. Whatever winds up happening.
