Eris slept often, as did their smallest daughter. Larkspur did not find this odd, being ill-versed in medical knowledge, and stocked it up to the energy spent caring for three children. Two of these were currently stumbling around his feet. Salvia and her brother, much larger than either of his sisters, had been particularly noisy and he had taken them into the caves so they might learn the routes. They were still very young, just pushing three weeks, and yet unable to go very far. Regardless, Larkspur believed it best to see that they were taken out to give their mother some rest.
Still fat and uncoordinated, the two children nipped at one another and occasionally fell flat on the stone ground. Larkspur watched them quietly, having brought them to the central area of the cave system. At least there they would not freeze, for a fire was lit and the wind could not breach stone walls. A particularly sharp squeal escaped Salvia as Pandemic knocked her down onto a rock, and Larkspur growled sharply. Recognizing the sound as an unkind one, the boy backed away from his sister—who almost immediately turned and tackled him. Larkspur sighed and continued to watch the pair.
