Once inside the warm-coloured room, he too sets her on a soft cushion, the blanket comforting and the fabric gentle. "Alright," he agrees, crouching near the pretty girl's rump. Ameroni, towel. The flit drops a towel on Jent's shoulder, before fluttering back to a table perch. "Good girl, Jaxa, good girl," he murmurs in a soothing tone, watching the canine. "Yep, they're coming," he informs the Master, getting ready and placing the towel underneath her tail. "Probably be a big litter, too." Jent smiles, thanking Faranth for making him trustable to animals, especially dogs, and waits patiently. Ameroni drops another towel, which he places next to the canine's belly.

The first one comes with little warning, just a heave from Jaxa and a wet bubble of puppy lands in Jent's hands. Keeping up an encouraging voice and soothing tone, he gently scrubs most of the birth fluid away and sets the pup on the second towel, just in time to catch the next. "Good girl, doing good, keep it up," he murmurs, cleaning this one off as well and setting it down. In this way, three more are delivered, all healthy. "Five, good girl... got another one in there?" Wiping one hand off on the towel's edge, he presses lightly on her stomach, helping her to push the last one out. "Little one this time, good job," he murmurs, handling the runt with care before setting it down. Squealing and squirming, the pups start to suckle, and the Journeyman lets Jaxa clean the rest of the goo off her new babies. All six pups are black and white, except for the runt, who's black seems tinted reddish.

"Good litter, girl," Jent grins, accepting a third towel and cleaning off his hands. "You should be proud, Veystak. She didn't complain a bit." The blonde removes the other towel as well, leaving the last for the puppies to snooze on, after they finish suckling. "It's best to keep her in here for the next few weeks, then we can move the family to your quarters, if you wish, or to a mother's proper kennel, with puppy accomodations." Thanks, Amer. The green flit chirps proudly, taking both dirty towels and disposing of them quickly, before landing on Jent's padded shoulder. "Good job indeed," he chuckles, eyes bright. "I love seeing births," he confides to the MasterHerder, grinning. "Something special, when you know these canines'll be with you for the next fifteen years or so. And you're there the very moment their life starts." Ameroni trills quietly, an almost soothing sound.
