Eris had wondered why this had not happened to her before. Staring at the differently-colored puppies, all of them already apparently wolfish, she knew. To have had children earlier and with anyone else, anywhere else -- it would have been simply inappropriate. This felt right, and this felt like the closest thing to home -- she did not remember Inferni feeling like a home, and she could not remember what Eterne had felt like as one. She did not yet even know anyone in the pack, and the sable-colored woman still felt it was clearly a place where she belonged. They did not seem to notice or care if she was a coyote -- her wolfish features allowed her to blend in for the most part, as she exhibited few coyote features herself. Whether it was blind optimism or denial that had caused them to believe her in Eterne, the hybrid could no longer tell. Being a coyote no longer mattered -- she had abandoned that life as certainly as she had walked away from that place.

“Of course,” the coyote said, too tired to muster a more eloquent response. It was her every hope that their children would grow to be stronger, smarter, and more successful than they were -- Eris, after all, felt she had accomplished next to nothing in her three years of life until this point. The hybrid listened to the names, her yellow-green eyes falling from one child to the next as Larkspur named them. She offered him a smile, brief as it was, and put her head down, too exhausted to keep her eyes open. Sleep would be a precious commodity with the children, she knew, and the sable-shaded hybrid desperately needed it at that moment.
