Luke was too stunned to even move.
The fox needed his help to deliver her babies. How was he supposed to handle something like this?
"Follow my instructions. It isn't too difficult," the fox assured him, though the slight tremor in her voice did little to reassure him.
She was in pain. There was no doubt about that. And Luke had a sinking feeling that if he did not act now, he might actually witness a mythical creature die before his eyes.
Well he considered her mythical because how many times in his life had he seen a beast that could reflect the moonlight itself and speak like a human?
This was the first.
"Okay. What do I need to do? Do I need any equipment?"
"Can you bring it?" she asked. "Without going away?"
There was desperation in her voice.
She did not want Luke to leave her side.
