Word Count :: 325 HI THERE. Big Grin

It had been two weeks since the birth of her children, and the sable-shaded woman had barely taken a moment to escape the confines of her small cave. They were growing at an exponential rate, and the Tuyul did not know what to do with them anymore. She had missed out on some of the lessons of motherhood, and she had only Astaroth to guide her in the later months of her childhood. He had not been a father figure in any sense of the word, though he had guided her to that place where she had survived the next two years.

Leaving the children with Larkspur for a moment, the coyote hybrid made her way from their private cave. She had made sure to choose something off the beaten track and away from the majority of the action in the Anathema caves, of course -- Eris was not yet comfortable with this pack, though it felt far more like home than Inferni ever had. She wanted to make herself useful in some fashion, but she had come to this pack heavily pregnant, and now she was dealing with the eventual reprecussions of pregnancy -- namely, raising her children. This was more of a job than the Tuyul had expected, and so when she was given the opportunity to leave for even a short while, she took it readily.

Not wishing to go far, the chartreuse-eyed woman meandered the looping paths of the cave, following a sound she had picked up on. It sounded like trouble -- the angry crash of rock against rock, and tumbling noises. Hurrying her footsteps along, she found another canine in one of these meandering hallways, apparently beating the side of a wall. The coppery scent of blood caught the Tuyul's attention, and she looked at the stranger, tilting her head. “You okay?” she asked, yet to notice the glittering geodes the other woman had uncovered from their cavern home.
