internutter asked, "Someone sent me an interesting query: What happens when a loved one of an Elf in Luume goes into labor? Would the protective instincts battle with the nurturing ones? Would said Luume-Elf let doctors/attendants anywhere near them? Ficcage welcome of course :D"

interstellarvagabond:

Depends on the severity of the luume. I’ve left it pretty open to interpretation resulting in different ideas of the intensity. In your fics they become very primitive and would probably yes chase doctors away unless they knew the doctors were helping. They’d probably wrap themselves around their so and not let go. Others depict luume'irma as less severe, mental capacities impaired but no more so than a night of drinking would do. In which case the elf would probably keep slapping themselves like “keep it together stay focused you’re not gonna bite the nice doctors and you don’t need to put a baby in them when one is already coming out”
I’d say it’d be rare for them to enter luume when their mate is already pregnant though since luume'irma’s evolutionary purpose was to make babies

My bad phraseology: “loved one” did not mean SO here. I was thinking, close family member going into Labor.


Luume is made to make and ensure the well-being of babies, so more instinctive levels of helping out would be in the offing. Maybe getting slightly in the way of professionals if comedy is the goal.


I’m way into purring Elves, and it occurs to me that that vibration would help alleviate aches and pains in the mum-to-be.


Gotta confess - “Don’t bite the nice doctors” is a good one.
