~3 Days~

~3 Days Later~

They were travelling home now, albeit a bit slower than usual, given the fact that Aki was roundly pregnant still, ever since Uma had impregnated her, she had yet to give birth. She'd also not been so forgiving of the horse woman when after they'd mated, Uma had taken on her human form, two legs and all. She would've more preferred mating with that body rather than the bottom half of a bloody horse.

"Fight me!"

Sigurd insisted, harassing Silas again. The snake man glowered at the two striped winged bear and ignored him, walking beside the pull cart their mate was resting in with various pelts.

"Are you thirsty?"

Silas whispered softly to Aki, capturing her attention. She smiled up at him and nodded. He leaned over and handed her the waterskin with a mischievous smile. As she sipped from the waterskin, her eyes widened at the sweet taste that greeted her tongue.

"What did you put in this?"

Though she could use identify on the water skin, she rather much let him tell her his secret.

"Honey and black berries with water. Tastes good yes?"

He corked the water skin and put it away, leaning over to kiss her lips for an after taste of it. It made him feel warm and fuzzy inside to be so close to her while the others trailed ahead or behind in their protective formation.

"How are you feeling?"

Sigurd quipped, getting pushed away from Silas, whom didn't want the annoying bear harassing their pregnant female.

"Tired, very heavy as well thanks to Uma."

Aki sighed, running her hands over her large distended gut. Her baby moved around inside, giving her familiar fluttery sensations.
