[player]: "What's wrong? Are you in labor?" Female Lesser Desertwyrm: (nods and points to her belly) [player]: "Oh...you need help. Let me see what I can do." (Quickly, I rummaged through my inventory and found some supplies: water, towels, and a few other items that could come in handy. I then helped the young desertwyrm to a more comfortable position, making sure she was not in danger of getting bitten by any surrounding mobs.) [player]: "Okay, let's get started. You're going to have to push when I tell you to." (The young desertwyrm nodded as I set up a makeshift birthing station. After a few moments, I saw the baby's head poking out, and I knew it was time for her to push.) [player]: "Push, push! You're doing great!" (With a few more pushes, a healthy little wyrmling emerged from her belly. She immediately started cooing and snuggling up to her mother.) [player]: "Congratulations! You have a beautiful baby wyrmling." Female Lesser Desertwyrm: (smiling and grateful, but still unable to speak) [player]: "Can I help you get back to your nest or someplace safe?" (The desertwyrm nodded and I helped her gather her things. Together, we walked a safe distance before I said goodbye and wished them well.) [player]: "Take care of yourselves, and good luck with your new baby." (The desertwyrm nodded and continued on her way. It was a heartwarming experience that reminded me that even in this digital world, there is still real, raw emotion and compassion to be found.)
