I am in the Umbra Forest, protecting the fairies. I heard a panting/wheezing sound, and I chose to IGNORE it. ;_; I didn't thiiiiink...It might've been a sylesti giving birth and it could've just...;_; Let's not get to details...Did you approach or ignore it?

I generally approach things,
More than often I end up getting attacked by an undead army, but sometimes I come across things like hurt sylesti that, once you help them, either A) Wish to join me or B) Heals my team. Sometimes when you find eggs, they AREN'T abandoned, and then you'll have a very angry pair of sylesti parents.
^^"
The wheezing sound could have been a sylesti giving birth, and if it had been then you generally have a choice:
A) Steal the egg while the mother is recovering (I've never done so. )
B) Or just calm the mother down. All times I do this, (Which is every time. XD) the mother generally heals my party.

I never stole eggs if a mother is in site and hurt
I just feel bad for her and it's not fair to steal if that thing can't be defended at least with sylestis

I had this happen once and went towards it thinking the game was giving me a hint to where the troll was. I helped the mother and she raised Kai my starters level by one and restored him back to full health.
