Round 2, Hill Farm 7 / 8
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are things Xiang misses from home sometimes: tea (real tea, not those herbal concoctions Helenet makes), his mother's soup, but reading most of all. Poetry, philosophy, natural texts... when he left home, space in his knapsack was limited, and over the years he bartered away the few scrolls he did bring.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least he's got a sword?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The garden is growing!! Readers may or may not have noticed that I've been swapping the Maxis/Aysarth crops for the Sun & Moon ones, which require less care. I think in the future I might use a mixture of the Sun & Moon and the Maxis-style crops. In my regular game, I prefer the Maxis-style ones since I can just click 'water many' and go, but it takes them so damn long to weed these little kitchen gardens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since their larder is pretty well-packed, Eisu sells the produce to townie Elphin. I'm vaguely planning to set up a marketplace as an owned business at some point, owned by Elphin (who actually is still living on my test lot). I don't want to play a giant business lot, I just want my sims to have the benefits of one. >_>
Tumblr media
Xiang: Are apples supposed to be this color? I feel like they aren't supposed to be this color.
Tumblr media
Dunk, pls stop. 😭 Elmet, I KNOW this is your fault somehow.
Tumblr media
Elmet is counting down the days until he can join Helenet's household, even in his sleep.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Drustan: Bába? Can you teach ME how to do that?
Xiang: Hm—yes, but let's start with something a little less intense than push-ups.
Tumblr media
I can't believe Drustan is already going to age up at the beginning of fall. I lowkey considered getting a muuuuuch longer age mod for Veridia.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elmet got around to telling his family about him and Helenet, eventually. Eisu immediately wants to know if they're planning to start their own family after their marriage.
Elmet: Uhhh—
Xiang: I don't think everyone has baby fever like us, love.
Elmet: I mean, eventually. Give us a minute, Eisu, damn.
Eisu: I'm just saying, it'd be great for Jia to have cousins close in age! And so nearby, too.
Tumblr media
Drustan is constantly appalled by his dad and his uncle burping or scarfing their food, poor child.

Round 2, Seax Farm 3 / 7
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni and Diseta have avowed their bond before kin and gods alike, and now they can add their binding ribbon to the others tied to the tree in the old standing stones. (I would say 'finally' here, but this happened in like two weeks.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is cute and also the most out of character thing I've seen so far, Norweni.
Tumblr media
Glamaer. Glamaer, NO. lol, oops, this was Angus. These children need different hairstyles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni lights the celebratory bonfire. That is so much fire.
Tumblr media
Glamaer Angus hates it. Maybe you should've thought of that before trying that mead. ಠ_ಠ
Tumblr media
lol @ Shep's very sexy walk. On her way to flirt with her girlfriend!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brigid is picking fights with a teenage townie. Guys, I think Gytha might be right about Brigid.
Brigid: She's wearing the same dress as me!
Everyone is wearing the same three things!!
Tumblr media
It's so romantic to eat ten feet apart at separate tables at your wedding.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial: ...I am concerned by all these children.
Girl, me too. Uh, btw, what's happening behind you?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kinet: I'm back from the latrine! What'd I miss?
Big fight! Time to go home, tho!
Kinet: :(

Round 2, Shep 2 / 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*looks back and forth between Shep and Derelei's want pants* Hmm.
Tumblr media
She fed you and told you jokes, idk what more you want, Derelei. We're at least two hundred years off from restaurants yet. (Should Shep open a restaurant? No, no she shouldn't. She has no money.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shep: NOT AGAIN! Fuck!!!
Both of Shep's wheat fields were taken out by drought early in the season. It's too late now to start a new field, so Shep's brewing dreams will have to wait another year. 😔
Tumblr media
Shep: Excuse me, EVERYTHING SUCKS.
Yeah, I know, baby girl.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luckily Shep's friend Diseta walks by soon, and she cheers Shep up with a few dirty jokes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Diseta: You know that I've decided to commit myself to Norweni now, right?
Shep: Yeah, don't worry, I won't step on any toes. Friends?
Diseta: Friends!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Diseta catches Shep up on the happenings in her new household. Shep is glad it's not her caring for all those new babies.
Tumblr media
Shep: You want ME to clean the basin?
Tumblr media
.........yes.
Tumblr media
My rules for Veridia are simple. If I see Elmet having a positive social interaction, I take a screenshot because I'm so shocked by it. Maybe Elmet is also tolerable when Shep's not tipsy; the jury is still out on it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the main features of the Longest Day festival in summer is competitions! Shep and her beautiful flower crown decide to try her hand at axe throwing. Elmet decides to go somewhere farther away from these poorly aimed sharp objects.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shep ends up next to Derelei's sister, Brigid, when she sits down to eat.
Shep: The mead's great this year, right?
Brigid: I don't partake. It's bad for the body's spirits.
Shep: *minus minus*

Round 2, Midwife 4 / 5
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next morning, it's time to put on their nice clothes and head out to the festival square for a day of fun. Of course, Angus immediately wants to strip down to his shift and try out the log rolling pit Norweni and a few of the other stronger Veridians laboriously set up.
Angus: Elmet! Do you want to fall in the water with me?
Elmet: Wow, that sounds great, kiddo, but I think my brother will get mad at me if I get this tunic wet and he has to wash it again. Can I watch with your mum instead?
Tumblr media
Don't worry, Kinet has no qualms about getting his fancy outfit wet!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elmet: Um, can I...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kiss takes Helenet a little by surprise, but she's definitely not opposed to it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angus is gonna eat so much honey cake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angus greets Kinet's aunt and tells her all about his and Helenet's hike yesterday.
Angus: And then Ma's friend came by to visit too. He has antlers, like a deer.
Norweni: What? Angus, it's not nice to tell tales like that.
Angus: But he does.
Norweni: I think you might be mistaken.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kinet, on the other hand, is happy to entertain Angus's tales and tell a few of his own.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Helenet spots Wulfric, not looking especially happy to see her and Elmet dancing together, and heads over to speak to him when Elmet leaves to get home before the sun starts to set.
Helenet: I know we did have fun together, but you know that's all it was, right?
Wulfric: Sure. If you prefer Elmet Hill over someone who can actually provide for their family, that's your prerogative.
Helenet: What? Please, even if I was that interested in you, I know you've refused for years to move into the village proper. It's not as if I could keep seeing patients from all the way out on the bay. Have a nice night, Wulfric.
Wulfric: Hm. And you, Helenet.

Round 1, Hill Farm 5/7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Xiang: Wolf time?
Elmet: Arooooooo--yep. G'night.
Xiang: Night.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You guys, Elmet leads such a hard life. 😔
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Drustan: What's wrong, Uncle?
Elmet: Ehh, nothing. General tedium. I don't recommend growing up in general, Drustan.
Drustan: I don't think it's a choice?
Tumblr media
Mouse's problem is that SOMEONE is on HIS BENCH!
Tumblr media
Okay, he's at the point where it amuses him to fart on the bean plants, we need to get this Pleasure sim to the mead hall, stat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spotted: Townie Derelei amusing the patrons, and Wulfric and Helenet making a connection.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What's this? Someone who enjoys listening to Elmet? (This is actually Derelei's sister, uhhh-- *checks notes* --Brigid.)
Tumblr media
Yeah, boy, ruin it your self! Wooooo!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elmet: *hic* Hey, Norweni.
Norweni: Elmet.
Elmet: Norweni... what's wrong wit' me? Why's everything end up going wrong for me?
Norweni: How much did you drink? Do you want a list?
Elmet: Yeah, really, I do.
Tumblr media
Norweni: You try too hard and not enough at the same time, somehow. Try actively listening to people, even if you think it's boring. Maybe you'll learn something. You mope too much and you don't seem to have any idea what you want out of life. I know you think your... curse ruined everything, but it's just something you have to live with and live around. Maybe give some thought to how you might want to do that, huh?
Elmet: ...Wow, brutal.
Norweni: You asked.
Elmet: Yeah, I did. Okay. *hic* Thanks, Norweni, I'm gonna think about stuff and things like you said.
Norweni: Please do it safely at home, without another cup of mead. Actually, maybe I should walk you back there--
Elmet: I'm not that wasted!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn't realize Mouse could climb the ladder into the loft, simply because he hadn't done it yet. But look how cute and cozy he looks up there!
Tumblr media
Xiang thought today would be a good day to take Drustan on a hike to explore and learn from the natural world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was not, in fact, a good day.
Xiang: I swear that hive looked abandoned!
Drustan: AHHHHHHHHHHH!
Tumblr media
Drustan: I hate bees. :(
Tumblr media
Eisu: *yawn* How was your walk?
Xiang: Bad. Bees.
Eisu: Bees?
Xiang: Bees.

Round 2, Seax Farm 5 / 7
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial: You and that girl of yours are being safe, right? You can always talk to Helenet!
Kinet: Mummmm, spirits.
Fial: If you're embarrassed about something, you're not mature enough to be doing it, that's what our gran taught us.
Kinet: Ugh. We've kissed, that's all.
Fial: Good! I'm not old enough for grandchildren yet!
Kinet: Great talk, I'm going to go hide in the barn now.
Norweni: Are you also going to tell him about Gran teaching us which mushrooms you can eat and which ones make you trip balls?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Embarrassing mothering done, time to pick some early plums for preserves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni: I'm fairly certain you aren't supposed to be there. But also I'm too tired to care.
Lu: Mrow?
Tumblr media
Norweni: Take that, Fial. I can so cook.
Fial: Hm? Did you say something?
Norweni: No.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're cute. I don't think Kinet is a 'one sim only and forever' romance sim, but I'm gonna make them get married anyway.
Tumblr media
Spotted, at the market: this townie picking fights with people again, this time with Xiang.
Elmet: >:O
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First no one's there for Sun's birth, now everyone's gone on her birthday, whoops. (Kinet was on his date, and his parents were very busy woohooing.)
Tumblr media
Turns out Sun's personality is verrry close to Norweni's; she's got two more neat points and three less active, that's the only difference.
Tumblr media
Faun: You win again, cat.
Lu: *zzZZzzz*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni already has to break out her old dress with the sleeves ripped off again. At least it's not a surprise this time!
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, morning snuggles are cut short when you have a toddler.

Round 2, Seax Farm 4 / 7
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Faun made a friend. :)
Tumblr media
These two are perfectly happy to continue celebrating their marriage up in the loft.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial can't believe Faro is already getting so big. It seems like just three days ago yesterday that he was born.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Awww, cutie!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dinn gets down to business with the toddler teaching. Faro is more interested in finding new and interesting things he can stick in his mouth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni: *urp* Hold that thought—
Wow, this is so familiar, it's like we just did this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Diseta is up before dawn to get some work in. A few people have requested traps for their farms, to make sure the wolves heard in the forest at night don't get too close to their livestock.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gytha: Are you sure I can't have some nails?
Diseta: No nails. Have you considered replacing whatever you're planning for the nail with, say, a frog? Or a cricket?
Gytha: Hmmm... yes, a cricket might do nicely. Maybe Glamaer's dumb friend will help me catch one.
Diseta: I also advise not insulting them when you ask.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh my god, adults! Grown-up people shopping! It's a miracle!
Tumblr media
Starting to think I'm not good at these fields.

Round 2, Midwife 3 / 5
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am ignoring that Helenet's herbalist station has books attached to it. I am trying So Hard to ignore it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Helenet took Angus with her on one of her hikes to gather ingredients in the forest, and she got a wee bit overheated. You okay there, girl?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Helenet senses someone arriving to annoy her, but this time it's not Elmet.
Tumblr media
Helenet: What are you doing here? I thought you didn't leave the grove during the day.
Arturo: Why would you think that? I have a charm that temporarily allows people's perception to glance off me, so sometimes I do come walk through the outer village. Though it doesn't work with magic users, as you can see.
Helenet: Please tell me you're not going around looking through people's windows.
Arturo: I am not going around looking through people's windows. I heard you walking through the forest earlier and I thought I'd... say hello? That is what people do, I believe.
Helenet: You were bored. Got it. Well, if you're here, watch this—oh, I hope I can do it again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Arturo: Very good. See how the wands hold you back?
Helenet: I'm not convinced it's the wand or not. Maybe Veridia just sits closer to the Otherworld than my home village does.
Arturo: Whatever you want to believe, I suppose.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The boss drops by on her way home to check in with Helenet. Norweni has been very kind since Helenet moved to Veridia, from arranging her housing to making sure all is well. Helenet convinces Norweni to take home some of her contraceptive tea, and suggests that Diseta should probably drink it too, in case the spirit's gift works a little differently than they thought.
Norweni: That's probably best. One surprise baby is quite enough, thank you.
Helenet: That's the spirit!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elmet decided to take Helenet up on her offer of company, although he seems to also have found another wolfy friend to follow him around.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Helenet: Can you at least make the pack be quiet? People are starting to talk about a wolf hunt if they keep coming into the village.
Elmet: I'm not doing it, I swear! But I guess I can try to tell them to keep it down? I don't know how much they understand when I talk.
Meanwhile, Xiang, lagging a little behind Norweni on his way home from the village warriors' training session, spies his brother-in-law speaking with Eisu's friend the midwife, in wirokū form. Interesting; he was under the impression that Elmet refused to reveal his curse to anyone. (He is, of course, going to gossip about this with Eisu immediately.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Helenet has warmed to Elmet since the first time she met him; alright, he's a little argumentative, but so is she. It's not necessarily a bad thing. She thinks that the thing with Elmet is that he's been lost for what to do since the incident that caused his lycanthropy. He wants to connect with people but holds them at arms length at the same time because he doesn't want to be shunned for his condition. If you get past that, he's honestly kind of sweet.
Tumblr media
Also, he's weirdly comforting to hug in wolf form. All warm and fuzzy.

Round 1, Salter 3/3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the morning, everyone puts in some effort in the garden and tidies up the house before heading into town for the spring festival.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spotted: Diseta and Shep boogieing down.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Helenet coaxed Wulfric onto the dance floor after a game of skittles, and got a nicely dramatic smooch for her efforts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wow, those roast chickens are BLAZING. Maybe we need only one decorative fire there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wulfric: It's mighty nice of you to come all the way out here to check up on us.
Norweni: You're part of Veridia too, even if you won't move closer in. Besides, someone's got to bring you all the latest news.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The children have discovered a time honored tradition, Hitting Each Other With Fish For Fun.
Random Wolf: What a waste of fish! I could be eating that!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gytha: Helenet, Helenet! Guess what!!
Helenet: What's that?
Gytha: I grew a whole half-inch TALLER than Glamaer!
Helenet: Wow!
Tumblr media
Glamaer: ...and THEN they put the thief in the stocks—
Wulfric: Glamaer, no. We've talked about this. Not at the dinner table.
Tumblr media
Gytha: *hrorfgmorfsnorf* Thish ish good, Da!
Wulfric: *deep sigh*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After the children are put to bed, Helenet lingers a while. One thing leads to another and she and Wulfric share a... moment on the bench by the hearth. Talk about ending the round with a bang.

Round 2, Seax Farm 1 / 7
Tumblr media
In their household pic, Dinn is lovingly holding his new son, and Fial is stuck with Norweni and Diseta's kid, which is very funny to me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see, Diseta is becoming an extremely helpful member of this household.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just like taking pictures of Fial's face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dinn: Have you two finally picked a day for your ceremony?
Norweni: Eh... soon?
Diseta: Soon sounds right.
Dinn: You'd better narrow that down, I think. We have to make sure to get enough drinks! The whole village is going to want to come.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Faun has won back his bed from the cat.
Lu: For now.
Tumblr media
There's a lot of baby care going on right now. This is slightly better than twins, because there's twice as many caretakers available (also Kinet, occasionally).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Diseta gets to leave for a few hours, because she has Very Important Blacksmith Things to do.
Gytha: Can I hit the metal too? Please?
Diseta: No. Whatcha need, kiddo?
Gytha: Nails.
Diseta: Okay, how many boxes does your father need?
Gytha: Oh, they're not for him. They're for Brigid.
Diseta: Does Brigid know she's getting these nails?
Gytha: :)
Diseta: No nails.
Gytha: Aw.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial: ...Are you cooking?
Norweni: I can cook.
Fial: Sure.
Norweni: I can. How do you think I fed myself when I was away from home?
Fial: Honestly? Mostly Eisu.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni: Hmph. I'll show her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni: You're almost of age. I think it's time you start taking a more active role in the community. Perhaps you could make some of my rounds in my stead while I'm home with Sun?
Kinet: Wow, really? But Mum—
Norweni: Let me worry about Fial. I trust you, that's enough.
Tumblr media
A very important position!

Round 1, Diseta 1/4
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is now a good time to say I don't know anything about blacksmithing? You make the metal hot and smack it around. Sometimes you quench it. That's the extent of my knowledge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not sure Diseta knows much more than me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni stops by, ostensibly to check in with one of her town guard members, but even she's charmed by Lu.
Norweni: Yes, you are a good kitty. Please don't tell my dog about this.
Lu is going to tell her dog about this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni: It's a comfort to know Veridia has someone to act as lawspeaker when I'm away. Eisu told me he thinks you're doing very well.
Diseta: You know me, I was born to settle disputes about sheep eating someone's wheat. That sounds like a joke, but it really is interesting.
Norweni: Well, I appreciate it, especially with Kinet too young for these things yet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Diseta may be a deft hand at making horseshoes, but she's less good with a knife... or not burning dinner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lu: I HATE THESE RUSHES!
Diseta: Ughhhh, the roof needs patching...
Tumblr media
First this roof taunts me by just being generally horrible to use, now it's not even weatherproof??? Booooooo. At least that's an easy solve with an application of invisible flooring.

Round 2, Hill Farm 8 / 8
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi, Norweni! Norweni, Helenet, and Angus are here to help celebrate Jia's birthday. Luckily everyone here is in on the wolf-secret, so no one's particularly surprised by Elmet transforming in the middle of the party.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aw, cute! Jia is nice and REALLY active. Looks like her face mostly takes after Eisu (he's got those chubby cheeks too, just hidden by the beard).
Tumblr media
Ugh, fine, ONE more, but you still have to change nappies.
Tumblr media
Aw, I thought they might become friends. :(
Tumblr media
Eisu: So have you decided a day for the wedding?
Norweni: Not yet. I'm so tired, I haven't really thought about it. Babies should sleep more at night.
Eisu: They're pretty notorious for not doing that.
Norweni: Anyway, I figured I can try to bribe Fial into planning things for us instead. She'll probably agree.
Eisu: Let her know I can help!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Guys, Elmet adores this kid. Endless games of peek-a-boo and snuggles. Jia seems to like his furry ears.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Xiang: ...This is too many wolves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elmet: You guys have GOT to stop coming into the village like this. Oh, don't give me that! People are going to start blaming you for every lamb that gets loose and wanders off.
Tumblr media
Elmet: Fine, you can have a piece of bacon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not only is Jia adorable, she's quickly learning her toddler skills.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have ideas for what the other kids in Veridia will do when they grow up, but not for Drustan yet. 🤔 Well, we have his whole teenagerhood to consider it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jia is unfazed by Elmet's transformation.
Tumblr media
Mouse, on the other hand, pounced him and sped off, looking very pleased with himself.
Elmet: Yeah, give me a heart attack, cat, why not.

Round 1, Seax Farm 6/8
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Norweni: Set the board up again and I'll show you a new strategy.
Kinet: Cool. So... are you having a baby like Mum?
Norweni: Yes.
Kinet: Wow... this house is going to be so noisy in a couple months.
Norweni: Ha! Yes, it probably will be.
Tumblr media
Norweni sleeps for a while after her and Kinet's river stones game, but her growling stomach wakes her. Apparently Fial has the same problem.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial: I can't believe this.
Norweni: What?
Fial: You, having a child. Dinn and I have tried for years and now you...
Tumblr media
Norweni: D'you want it?
Fial: No, I don't want it! Why would you ask me that?
Norweni: *shrug*
Fial: By the gods, you're so smart and yet you say the stupidest things sometimes.
Tumblr media
Fial: It just feels unfair. We've wanted more children for so long, and you weren't even trying to have a child!
Norweni: Much of life is unfair, Fial.
Fial: ...I know.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial: *sigh* I shouldn't be mad at you. I'm not, really. But sometimes you're very frustrating.
Norweni: I know. Do you want me to help redo your hair tomorrow?
Fial: That would be nice, thank you.
Tumblr media
These two are SO fun to play pregnant at the same time, because their needs look like this in a good moment. Besides the regular needs tanking, their fun bar is always red or orange. Hygiene too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least Fial has a husband on hand to have fun with.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kinet: I know she should be resting, but I miss Mum's cooking.
Dinn: I can cook too.
Kinet: Yeah, but not, like, well.
Dinn: I'd be upset, but that's also true.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial is resting, but she can't resist the urge to go fix up the main room a little. She has a particular way she likes to keep things!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Norweni is half supervising Kinet on his date at the market, half trying to mentally shoo people away from the river stones board so she can stake her claim there.
Diseta: Norweni!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Diseta: I'm sorry. For how I reacted the other day when you told me about... I spoke with Helenet and she about chewed me a new one and threatened to send me to the priestess in Evervale for remedial lessons. Could you ever forgive me?
Norweni: Well. I did yell at Eisu about it when I found out as well, so I think I can forgive it. It was a shock for all of us.
Diseta: You can say that again.
Tumblr media
Diseta: There's a child in here... our child. That's incredible.
Norweni: Eh. Mostly it's uncomfortable.
Diseta: Maybe you should sit?
Tumblr media
Diseta's really out here speedrunning things, isn't she?

Round 1, Hill Farm 2/7
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eisu: You know, there's something to what Drustan was asking about. Some of the priests and priestesses say that with the correct offering, the spirits can bless anyone with a child.
Xiang: That sounds almost too easy to believe. But they're not the spirits I'm familiar with, so you would know better than I.
Eisu: I don't know if I really believe it. Norweni's sister spent years making offerings before they were blessed with their son. But... it would be nice. I didn't know how much I would love being a father before we found Drustan.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When the moon rises in the night sky, the change comes over Elmet. His brother spent six months discreetly inquiring with priestesses, headmen, witches throughout the land surrounding Veridia, and even one particularly knowledgeable pirate, but none has presented a cure. No amount of prayer, offerings, or supposedly magical amulets stops it. The pirate called him lykánthrōpos, the priestess wirokū--werewolf.
Elmet calls it a big pain in the butt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Outside of the immediate family, only Headwoman Norweni knows about his condition. At the time, it seemed better not to alarm the rest of the village. This means that Elmet has few options for his sleepless nights--he can sit around the farm talking to the sheep and playing river stones with the cat, or he can run down to the forest and at least see something different than the usual four walls. He spends a lot of time fishing (with a pole or spear, not his claws, thank you very much), which at least helps him not eat Eisu out of house and home every night.
Still, Elmet would give his left hand to be able to visit the meadhall at night again. (Not his right, though--he needs that one for things.)

And wet fur is not very pleasant to deal with.
Tumblr media
Elmet: Ughhhh...
Dawn isn't much of a relief, knowing he has to do it all again the next night.
Tumblr media
Eisu: *snore*
Xiang: Heh. I would like to have another child with you if it were possible, love.

At least with 3 - 4 sims working on it, the garden work goes faster. Xiang usually prepares breakfast and joins them in the garden after they eat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What is Xiang looking at with that dopey smile, you ask?
Tumblr media
This.

I wanted Drustan to make some friends with the local kids, so it's off to the well again, where Elmet finally manages to have a positive conversation with someone (townie Cara).
Tumblr media
Cara: Hug?
Elmet: Oh, uh, no.
Tumblr media
Fial: Doesn't Cara look handsome with his hair like that, Helenet?
Helenet: I guess? I didn't really notice...

Eisu and Xiang took advantage of the house being empty. Surely your bed that's steps away upstairs would be nice than that little bench??

Round 1, Seax Farm 7/8
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Diseta: Were you doing anything in particular here?
Norweni: Just pretending to keep an eye on Kinet, for Fial's sake. The boy's fine; they worry about him too much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love Kinet's hair, but I think I might need to change it, because I can never see his face. 😭
Tumblr media
Spotted: Gytha shopping. Whatcha gettin'?
Gytha: Da promised that I could pick fabric and he'd get me a new dress made by someone at the big market.
Sweet!

Trying to find something for Dinn to do besides tend plants and fawn over his wife, so: woodworking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kinet: Hi, Aífe.
Aífe: S'up?
Tumblr media
You could've just handed him that illicit electronic.
Aífe: This is tradition!
Tumblr media
Norweni might be too pregnant to spar with Kinet comfortably or safely, but that doesn't mean she can't instruct him.
Norweni: Tuck your hips, you need to use your stomach muscles. Ten more.
Kinet: Ughhhh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Helenet: How are you feeling? You both look well.
Fial: I'm tired, but otherwise I feel quite well.
Norweni: Wishing this was going to be over for me as soon as it will be for Fial.
Tumblr media
Helenet: I'm going to make frumenty—we need to keep your strength up. Eggs in it okay?
Fial: That sounds lovely, thank you.
(I'm basically copying the way Mortia played the midwife in Dallubach and having Helenet come over prior to births to help out the parents-to-be. It's a big help, especially since the other two sims in the household are busy half the day tending the livestock and garden.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial has a full house for the birth—just what every parent wants!
Helenet: Everyone BACK THE FUCK UP.
Tumblr media
Dinn: I'm here, I'm here!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fial and Dinn have a new son, Faro! Looks like he's inherited his father's light skin and Fial's lovely dark eyes. They're absolutely in love.
