Ob slips onto the bed, curling around Pandora. Leaning on an elbow, he watches Chloe feed. His mind slides into theirs and he lets them feel his contentment and love. His long fingers stroke lightly along Pandora's back, teasing along her spine.
"You are getting tired of being in this room, aren't you Bruha?" Pandora nods, rocking slightly as Chloe nurses. "I was thinking... I remember how to fashion a druma... a baby sling. I know I can find enough fabric for one." He kisses the top of Chloe's head, then Pandora's shoulder, and grabs his slacks.
"I'll be right back."
Miko motions to Rachal, and she darts after Ob. Opening the door to the room Montenegro uses for their belongings, Ob heads directly for a locked case. As soon as it is open, Rachal alights on the open lid, ahhing over the colorful fabrics. Ob smiles at her.
"These are sourrals, shawls and wraps my People wear. I figured something in here can be tied into a druma. He pulls out a shawl of pretty blues and purples. The edges are embroidered with elegant leaves and flowers. The silk shimmers in the lights. Opening another case, Ob pulls out a length of fabric. The blue matches one of the less vibrant colors in the shawl.
Setting it aside, he opens his mind to Tori. Tube tops... do you have a blue tube top that will match this? He sends her the images of the shawl and fabric. Tori laughs, picking up the images and the one he has of Pandora, dressed as a Romanavich mother. He is soon pulling out a dark purple top. Closing the cases carefully, he stows them back where they were. Rachal flies ahead, giggling as they head upstairs.
Laying the silks on the bed, Ob takes Chloe. Sitting on the bed, he gives Pandora the image, not sure if she can see what he is showing her. Gently he pats Chloe's back, burping her.
"Can you find your blue skirt? The pretty one that flows so softly?"
As Pandora pulls out the skirt, he nods. He hands her the tube top. Pandora looks at it.
"Please? For me? I'll explain if you can't see what I sent."
He tries again, sending an image of Pandora dressed in skirt and tube top. Then the end of the blue shawl is tucked in the top of the skirt and wrapped once around the waist. The free end is tossed over the shoulder. The end is pinned to the tube top in the back. It makes for ease of feeding, the top pulled down, the shawl veiling her breasts from all view.
Pandora smiles and slips into the bathroom to wash and change.
'Miko, will you have one of your brothers let Monty know we will be down for dinner?"
Ob nuzzles his daughter. She coos and gurgles at him. Laying her on the shawl, he measures her, figuring where he needs to make the knots in the shawl.
