TXT (To Coradel): Siv here! Holy shit. I'm a mom. Pardon, had to tell a fellow Lioness . I'm shaking with... everything. Piper is in recovery. Jonas with her. Got a boy AND a girl.

TXT: A matched set! Congratulations! But aren't they terribly early?

TXT: Yes. Piper was just at regular appointment, then they said 'gotta be now' and boom. They're so wee. Little Franklyn , she's going to need more care than her brother Valr.

TXT: Good decision by the doctors, then. Check if any are gifted with dreaming. Is there any help I can send from here?

TXT: Sweet of you to ask but I can't think of anything currently. Brain is a bit scrambled. Just hoped you might want to know. Please, tell August to pray for our daughter? It can't hurt and he's a good man o Faith and all?

TXT: Of course! He'll be pleased you've asked. Is your lady well?

TXT: Jonas has seen her more than I have but he says she is tired, of course she would be. She's a passionate one so she's likely as worried and proud as I am but more open about it. You know how terribly conservative and reserved I am

TXT: As sober as a judge, you are. Where are you, if not with her?

TXT: NICU with the babies. Met a nice nurse fellow named Duncan. He's not wed. I am SO setting him up when I've got the time. He's a dear

TXT: Do you feel secure in leaving the babies so you can get rest? I can send somebody to take a shift?

THIS time, there is a beat TXT: No need for that. I've got this.

One can almost imagine her getting more troll at the notion of deserting her post.

They are a stubborn kith

TXT: No doubt! she texts back while she tries to determine which of her associates might be able to pass as a nurse to get access.

Shallimar might be game. But that doesn't mean he'd be good at it

TXT: Sides. Mum and Da will probably charge the place soon

TXT: Oh! Of course, Rivervale will have forces to send you.

TXT: Well, yes. With mom and Da retiring to Alaska, there will be some changes.

TXT: Keep that under your hat. Plz. Though I'm sure it's all over the gossip chain around here

TXT: Retiring? Your mother? That's news!

TXT: Aye. It's a dream of theirs. They promised each other long ago. Terribly romantic. But I confess it threw me

TXT: Yes, the timing seems odd, doesn't it?

TXT: They keep their own confidences

TXT: Many do. Strange, but don't dwell on it now. You've got BABIES! Of course you'll send me pictures?

TXT: Give them a week. They're beutiful, but so fragile now

TXT: As you think best, of course, Lady Captain Mama.

TXT: Ha. Bit of a mouth ful for the kids. They'll be calling me Mor. Norweigan for mother

TXT: But you WILL get those pictures. Thank you so much for letting me crow

TXT: A good crowing is a beautlful song!

TXT: Tell your loves and your babes that they're expected to visit EarthRunes with you as soon as you all feel up to it!

TXT : 🐓 I shall. They'll love it. Beg pardon, must crow to others. ❤️ Roar on yourself

TXT: :lioness: Rar! <3

And the converse is done. Perhaps one of those twins will join the Lion in the future his or herself
