[B] Here We Go Again (Seaglow x Acorn)

[.Tortured. .Pumpkin.]

Well at least this time he knew. He and Eater of Names had children on the way. He remembered the kindness that the last elder had given him, when he had yet to even know that his partner was expecting. This time, she had confronted him with the truth, and while glad, he was worried as well. Hurriedly, he made his way through the swamp, keeping to the marshes to stay somewhat dry, though occasionally a hoof would sink through the weeds.

He wasn't sure what form this being would take, or if he would find one at all, but he had to try. He hoped for strong, healthy children with sound minds and noble hearts. Peering around, he found difficulty telling whether the wildlife was simply that, or something more.

Thank you so much ;-; <3

Glowing yellow eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the pastel-colored doe. Seaglow sighed in relief as she slowed to a stop, giving a light-hearted chuckle at her apology. "No, no, I'm sorry for having snuck into your path like that." He grinned. In reality he'd been standing there feeling helpless for quite a few moments, but she didn't need to know that.

"Please don't let me impede your little jaunt. I'm just out and about looking for someone." Who, he did not know, but maybe they'd turn up anyhow... Or maybe they already had.

No problem! I'd gone to bed shortly after. <3

Seaglow shifted uncomfortably at the bluntness of the question. How could he possibly explain this? "Well, I've been seeing someone on and off, and apparently, uh." He shifted again, unsure of why he felt so uncomfortable saying it. "I guess I'm going to be a father again. Which is nice, it's exciting. It's just that the last time this happened, someone helped me out. I don't know if I'll ever find him again, but I'm hoping to find someone like him."

Seaglow stood very still, his sheer opaqueness as to the doe's status overwhelming him. He knew he wasn't the smartest kin in the swamp, but this time his inattention took the prize. "I..." He sighed, not sure if he wanted to admit his folly. "I'm sorry, I didn't even realize. The last, see, he came to me as a crane. I just sort of figured that's how it worked. I haven't really met many of such high status, so I guess it was rather silly of me to assume."

Upon noticing his rambling, the kimeti stopped and took in a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I would be so happy if you would do that for us. Fatherhood is great, but it's still so scary, you know?"
