Firefly had heard the sounds of another moving in the house, she'd lifted her head to the sounds, half awake as the scent of her mate seemed to appear out of nowhere, then following said scent was the male himself. Her hazy eyes seemed to clear instantly as she couldn't help it as her heckles began to rise. Those jade jewels followed the frame of her mate as he stood in the doorway watching her. When he spoke her name she rose up slowly, her forelegs moving over the small forms of their children as she silently studied him.
There was something different in the male, something she had rarely seen and yet there didn't seem to be any trickery to the way he was acting. She herself was unsure of how she could even possibly be a mother to these puppies, be a mother they deserved but she was going to try. She had no clue if he was willing to try and be a father to them or if he was just there to take away the life she'd brought forth into the world.
When he asked if they had been given names yet she watched him quietly still for a moment before sighing and answering. "No.. I wasn't for certain if they'd live." She had already lost one of the puppies and she had no clue how to tell if a puppy was strong and healthy, all they did was squeak and whimper and eat and sleep. She'd spent hours studying the tiny tails and stubby noses and yet she still had no clue if they would live to see tomorrow. She lowered her body back down again as she curled up around the two crying babies as she waited, wondering if Haku was here to attempt end their lives. Would the question Coli had presented her with come into play over their own children. She was loyal to her mate but she would not watch him end the lives of her children without a fight.. though she was a little baffled on how that came to be at this moment.
