Lakini turns. She makes a show that she is not looking at the bowl and draws the blessings Hope, Hope and Joy. "See? Everything is going to turn out alright!"

Lesi gives a sigh of relief, "Oh good."

Mika is also relieved! "Lakini draws the best blessings," he confirms, hugging her. 

Hug!

Dasenifer, or just "Seni" is next, the blue-haired firstborn triplet draws Determination, Love and Endurance. "Determination really likes me."

Dateovont, the thirdborn triplet of that set says. "It does, you like it too much, too." And he draws Loyalty, Joy and Resilience.

Ovali and his sister happen to be between Teo and Karo, so it's his turn to draw Endurance, Joy and Change.

Tani gets Patience, Resilience and Kindness. "Your blessings are always better than mine," she says to Ovali.

It's Karo turn and he draws... Love... Love... and also Love. Which causes him to burst out laughing.

Tepam giggles so much that she needs to hand out her blessings for her grandmother to read. Resilience, Fertility and Joy.

Mika is still giggling about Karo's draw when it's his turn, too. "I think Love likes you even more than Determination likes Seni," he tells Karo. 

He leans in to draw his blessings, pulling out Joy, Love, and Resolve.

"I guess it's definitely gonna be ok," Lesi says, looking over the list of blessings pulled. 

Asilei nods, Tepam goes up to hug her leg, because being reminded that things will be okay for Lesi's siblings reminded her that things didn't for her own.

"That's right."

"We will be able to fix everything eventually."

Oh no Tepam is sad. Mika will hug her too. If hugs from one person helps, hugs from two people will help more, right?

"We will," Lesi agrees, running a finger over all the Enduraces and Resliences on the list with a frown. She's not sure how to fix a lot of things, but she's sure they'll be able to figure it out, between all of them. 

Tepam appreciates hugs, though she might need some more space to breathe, specially when Karo takes the opportunity to pile on the hug as well.

Oops! Mika will pull away a bit before she suffocates, then.

She is more in danger of giggling too much.

And then the nurse says that they may come in, the immediate family first, then a handful of people at a time.

!!!

He gives Tepam one last quick hug and then runs off through the door. New siblings!!!!

(Lesi follows in just slightly less of a rush.)

In the room there are, in fact, two new babies, both being held by their mother in her hospital bed. She smiles at her older twins, her face lighting up despite the obvious exhaustion. 

"Mika, Alesin. Come meet your siblings. These are Raeni and Aekon." Raeni is the elder, though she is noticeably smaller than her brother, and has an IV attached to her arm. Both she and Aekon are hairless, so whether their hair will need dyeing once they're old enough that it's safe to do so is yet to be seen.

The twins marvel over their siblings for a bit, asking concerned questions about the IV (Raeni is sick, but the doctors say she'll be fine, Lia tells them, hiding her own worry) before Lia sends them out, having decided that they will get to pick who draws the blessings this time. 

Adon and Ibrae have arrived while the twins were in the room. Their kids are elsewhere in the hospital with Asara, all five of them having come down with some sort of mild sickness. The two of them look a little run-down, but offer tired smiles when Alesin and Mika pass them, and then go inside the room themselves for a short visit.

He waves at his aunt and uncle and then turns to try to make his decision. This is a hard choice! Mika doesn't want anyone to feel left out, but there's only six blessings to draw.

Alesin finds this difficult, too, but after a moment of thought she picks Migah, Tani, and Teo. Three of the people who got Resilience, and Teo because he got Loyalty, too. 

Oh, that's a good idea. Mika picks Tepam, Seni, and... Ovali, because he got Change.

And of course the other kids can come in too, right nurse? If they're very good?
