41 Safe (2/2)

But the ones with Emily were still a hard shut off group, Emily herself was apparently a fighter, Lurk having given her some armor from one of the adventurers after he fitted it to her. Sylvie did not like seeing Emily in Alex's armor as it gave her bad memories. But Emily was still projecting cold intent. Even now as they were standing here watching the hatch, Sylvie could sense that Emily was looking at the goblins more than watching the entryway.

Sylvie could understand her a little, She was the same way towards the adventurers. The way they mocked her, discounted her as useless or not even as a thinking being... And when the dark elf would at night make her do things to please him... She could understand Emily's feelings. But Lurk was doing his best, even trusting her with a weapon and armor. Sylvie could see when Emily looked at Lurk she was afraid, but she was also perplexed seeing Lurks responses and talks with the women and how he acted with Sala.

Sala... She was clearly the mother to Lurks child, Sylvie could see how Lurk and Sala cared for each other, though Sala was a bit clumsy at expressing it. She too was confused at times. But when they slept Sylvie was sleeping closer to Lurks ”room”, a small storeroom they had hung a piece of cloth down to block vision but not the sounds... And she could hear the two of them enjoying each other. Which caused her cheeks to flush and body to warm up.

She was really thankful for Lurk saving her for her hell, and he was kind towards her. He even looked nice despite him being a short goblin but with a normal looking body and kind face... Sylvie had slapped her cheeks briefly to knock her thoughts out of her head, and focus back at guarding the hatch.

When Sala suddenly collapsed in pain in front of them over by the hatch. Aurk helped her over to the room, asking her something as he got a punch in response. He simply seemed to understand and go back to guarding the hatch.

Resti was the first to voice her worry and wanted to go help Sala, Resti herself also gave her support with her meager healing she could assist Sala not be in too much pain. They came in giving her some help in sitting upright. Resti had some knowledge apparently from her village in women giving birth. After getting Sala to pick up the Control rod they could communicate easier since the collars prohibited slaves from picking up or touching the rod in any way.

But knowledge of how normal birthings happened did not really apply here with Sala, she was in pain, but it went very fast compared to what was expected by Resti, Sala smiled getting the pained numbed by Sylvie, she even thanked Sylvie which seemed to surprise her when she did.

The goblin baby came out but its skin was slightly darker and its forehead had two small blunt bumps, not quite horns but it looked like the beginnings of them. Resti and Sylvie were amazed and Sala beamed proudly proclaiming she had given birth to an evolved goblin grinning proudly.

The baby looked around curiously, hissing at them as Resti picked her up causing Resti to be a bit shocked. But she gently picked it up making the baby look odd for a moment as if it was expecting something else. Sala was also acting weird looking at Resti holding the baby.

”She is kind of cute,” said Resti smiling at Sala, handing her over to Sala that accepted her into her arms looking at the baby confused. Sala was acting weird looking at the baby as if she did not know what to do. They heard a commotion from outside and Resti pulled open the cover from the door out into the main room. Calling out to Lurk.

”Its a girl!” as she smiled at him, he looked inside being stunned. Sylvie looked intently at him as he was unsure how to act too. but he made his way over to them, sitting down, he smiled happily when holding the girl. Giving Sala a kiss, which made Sylvie's heart jump a bit. Even Resti seemed affected by the happy looking scene in front of them.

Sylvie smiled at Lurk and Sala, the goblins looking inside, the one named Aurk nodding to Lurk with a grin. Sylvie noticed Emily in the background looking conflicted. Even she had been affected by the happy looking scene occurring...

But Sylvie was smiling, but she was also feeling something else... Jealous at the happy scene...
