It was clear now his life mate was hurt and in deep pain and above all scared, even of him. Vale was one to taunt and seduce but when alone he had remaimed always gentle to the smaller elf.
"Walk it off? You're burning up my love." he said yet not forcing his touch as Halcron physically tried to move away from him visibly scared. He stood up and searched his drawers for clean linen or towels. He found an off assemble of both and got them all out. He always kept a basin of fresh water to clean his face after waking up and submerged the linen cloths in the cold water before returning to his sick lover.
"Halcron, don't you trust me? Have we not been defying gods and laws for many months now together? I need to examine your body... I dont want to loose you," he said as he gently got closer as you would approach an injured deer. As he got closer he placed the wet cloths over Halcron's forehead to begin to cool him and bring his fever down." I now understand you're pregnant, please let me see? I wont think any different of you" he said hoping he would allow him to undress him. He was unsure if his mate was sick from pregnancy or if it was actual birth. He was inclining for the second one by how pale his lover was becoming "being on your back must hurt, lets get you on your side love" he said trying to get his lover settled, he snaked an arm around him being as respectful he could and touching as less as he could till he had Halcron's express permission to touch and examine him. "youre about to have the child, arent you?" he asked softly needing yo know to prepare for it.
Vale was confused on how Halcron could have kept this from him for so long. More likely his lover had been taken before they even got together and he had been an idiot for not noticing." Wait a minute... You've been using magic to hide it, haven't you?" he allowed himself to smile for he had been his teacher and he felt a tinge of profe "I give it you, I never knew or would have thought it... Yet you could have told me. My reaction would have been the same" he said.
