Lady Saesha inclined her head and then entered, "where would do you want me, maester?" She asked looking round the room to see where he would examine her.

"It would probably be best if you stripped naked." Percival replied and motioned toward a table in the room. Then he walked from the room into his bedchambers and returned with several thick blankets. He began to cover the table slowly with them.

Saesha was surprised by the request. She got undressed completely, happy with her body, even with the little bump in her stomach.
"I would ask you, to be as quick as you can, maester."

Percival stopped and looked the lady right in the eye. He did not even glance at her body. "My lady I will not waste your time, but I will not rush through this. I am the one responsible for your health and the health of your unborn son." He motioned toward the table. "Lay back please." Then he walked to his supplies and began picking out items he would need.

She had not intended for him to rush, just not dally, "thank you for your vigilance, maester," she was curious, if happy he didn't take the time to leer at her, but gave it little thought as she got on the bench to be examined.

Percival walked back to and this time his eyes dropped immediately to her belly. In addition to the tools he actually needed, he had brought a twelve inch long needle. He was holding it in his hand as he walked over and laid his ear down against the baby bump. "So how often have you been sicking up?"

"Not as often as I expected," she replied, and looked at the needle as he held it, a little nervous about it... she was only human, "about every other day, but I have very little appetite, so I feel less sick than nauseous."

Percival placed down all of this tools and turned to look up at her. "You must still eat every day. No matter how ill it makes you feel." He turned back to his work and place his hands on her belly and slowly started feeling her belly for the baby. He leaned in close to study his work.

(Success. No skill increase.)
It felt like the expected growth for an infant at the end of the first trimester. With the infant mortality rate at 30-50% and maternal mortality at around 12%, there wasn't much he could do to help at this stage, except do his best to stymie the flow of blood if she had a sudden miscarriage and prescribe herbs for the nausea.

Percival smiled and looked at back at Saesha, "Everything is looking very good. I am sure your child will be hale and hearty."

"Thank you, Maester," she commented "For being so diligent in your duties," she said and started to get dressed.

The maester stepped back and said, "If anything changes send someone for me. I will run the entire way." He turned his back to her respectfully.

Saesha smiled a little as he turned away from her redressing, "I will make sure I do that, Maester, thank you. Do you talk much with your family?"

"I do not speak with them very often." The Maester replied with a small down on his face. He did not say anything merely stood looking away from the last.

Saesha finished dressing and looked at the Maester, "that makes a both of us, which is why I wanted to write, it would be easy to forget where I came from in this place, but easy to remember too, given the people we live with," sometimes she forgot that Percival was from such an esteemed family, as she was, even if she were a bastard she had never really been treated as such, with her fathers disregard for his son and Daeron's far from negative attitude to his bastard born siblings... it was a shame how things had to turn out at times, she had never disliked the old king.
