"Baking some bread, buying baby clothes,.. maybe some glass blowing and I need some...", Caitlin stopped mumbling and looked up.
She stood in the middle of the marketplace and stroked a strand of black hair from her pale face.
Actually Caitlin wasn't in the state where she should leave the bed. Her health hang on a thin thread and she had to be careful not to overstrain.
However it was impossible for her to stay in bed as soon as she felt a little better. There were so many things to do.
The urgent feeling to prepare everything for the child grew with every day and the work helped to distract her from all the thoughts what could go wrong.
All the symptoms she had pointed out that she will have a premature birth. But how early? With every day that passed by the chance of living got higher.
And her own?
Caitlin shook her head and started smiling as she felt some movements in her belly. "Good morning my angel", she whispered to her unborn baby, knowing it would hear her though. Her eyes sparkled and she continued her way, walking with her druid staff in the other hand.

by Alysha
Alysha walks over the marketplace. She is searching for some bread, wine and a few flowers. She buys some flowers and says to the shopkeeper: "They are beautiful. I`m sure she will like these." Smiling she pays and walks off. "Oh?" Caitlin is standing in front of her. Alysha puts the flowers behind her own back because she wants to hide them. "Hello my dear. How are you? You look pale. Maybe I can help you a little bit."

Caitlin starts smiling as she eyes Alysha and embraces her, not recognizing the flowers behind her back.
"I'm fine, a little busy though. You know, I have to prepare so many things. How are you?"

by .Rhiannon.
Rhiannon sits in the library, scribbling fiercely with her left hand. She places the weight of her right arm in its sling over the book to keep the pages open, and writes as quickly as she can, given that she's using the wrong arm. Her long dark hair is pulled back in a ponytail, and her head is bowed low so that only her forehead is visible. She does not seem to notice anyone around her.
She mutters quietly to herself as she writes...
"Dear Caden..."

by Alysha
Alysha smiles gently. "I´m fine Caitlin. And I have much energy to help you preparing everything. I don't want to risk that anything happends to you or your son. And...these are for you" She holds the flowers in front of her.

Caitlin laughs happily and takes the flowers. "Thank you Alysha!" She smiles cheerfully.
"Well... I would need to buy some baby clothes. You could help me choosing", Caitlin chuckles. "And... I think I need a little present for Pendar. But what to give the captain of the town guard which is not a weapon or armour? ... oh and.. have you seen Rhiannon per chance?"

Alysha grins. "No sorry, I haven't seen her. A present for Pendar? Hmm, maybe you should give him wine for everyday of the year." She smiles and watches the marketplace "Do you know where to buy baby clothes?"

by Llama
A heavily cloaked figure in white passes by
"Try Hafling'ss clothess, they'll fit"
The figure is heard to laugh a bit and walks away

After the cloaked figure walks away Alysha chuckles. "Halfling's clothes? Not a bad idea, but we should better search for baby clothes."

by .Rhiannon.
Finally, Rhiannon smiles and carefully tears the page from her book and folds it neatly in half. She places the book back into her bag, and, note in hand, walks towards the marketplace. There she sees her mother talking to the druidess named Alysha, and patting her stomach almost subconciously. Rhiannon gives Alysha a shy smile as she hides behind her mother's skirts and slips the folded square into an empty space in her mother's belt. She then hugs her mother gently from behind with her left arm, snuggling her face into Caitlin's back very gently

Caitlin feels the lovely embrace from her daughter and turns slowly, she smiles happily as she sees Rhiannon.
"Hello my wonderful sunshine", She hugs her daughter gently and carefully. "How are you?", she asks while stroking careingly through Rhiannons hair.

by Gil'Dran
A tall figure dressed in a huge, black cloak walks into the market checking out what weapons there are.
He notices the three ladies and hisses a bit then continues to examinate the blades.
He hisses at the bad quality of them then asks a merchant:
"Isss there no good sssmith in town?"
The merchant shakes his head and continues to do whatever he is supposed to do.
Gil'Dran walks over to the ladies as he hear them speak about a present for pendar.
"Give him thisss..."
"
He hands her a finely cut ruby. "Tell him itsss from me.."
He takes off his hood and shows his scarred lizard face...
"Tell him itsss from Gil'Dran"
He covers his face again and walks off...

by Alysha
When Rhiannon walks to Caitlin Alysha smiles gently. "Greetings young lady" She watches Caitlin and Rhiannon. Suddenly another figure appeared and gives Caitlin a ruby. It's a lizard named Gil'Dran. He walks off as fast as he came. "Strange people here, don't you think so?"

by .Rhiannon.
Rhiannon smiles shyly again to Alysha and lets go of Caitlin. She watches the lizard present Caitlin a ruby for Pendar with silent gray eyes, and tilts her head in curiosity.
'Strange people here, aren't there?' Alysha muses, and Rhiannon nods thoughtfully.

by Sylathen
Waking from his nap, Sylathen watches the scence from his spot in the tree. He looks down at Rhiannon, Alysha, and Caitlin. He sees Gil'dran remove his hood and walk away. He sighs at the thought that Gil'dran had still not confronted him. But that was not his worry at the time. He jumps down from the tree and lands on his feet smiling at the group
"Well hello there, it's been a while hasn't it?"
he stops rather suddenly and sits down apparntly with other things clouding his mind.

Calilmal walks down the street towards the market clad in her normal white dress. She notices Caitlin and the others and Waves then walks up to them.
Hello dear.. How are the baby doing?
