haha! 'fatherly bone in his body' xD

Skye smiled as Sky echoed her daughter's name; Erzulie immediately stopped wailing and peered at Skye's brown and golden friend, letting out a grin that was almost eerily like her father's. Skye pondered Sky's question - checks?

"Checks? Um.." She looked at her white daughter, who was still looking at Sky. She seemed healthy enough, but she did want to make sure, and was delighted when Sky offered to check them up. "Of course! Now that they're awake - " she shot a look at the coywolf, who was grinning at her in his usual fashion - "it'll be easy to calm them down and bring them to you. Thanks, Sky," she said, the relief in her voice quite audible.

She turned to get the pups, but it seemed that Bangle had them - sort of. The pups squirmed in his hands, and -- "BANGLE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU ALMOST DROPPED HIM!" she shrieked in distress as Nathaniel Guffawlins nearly fell from his father's arms to the ground below. Without another word, she snatched Nathaniel and Robert from their father's arms, now holding three content pups against her chest. She gave Bangle an extremely exasperated look, and closed her eyes briefly, listening to the whines of her children.

Eventually, she opened her eyes again and looked at Sky, her face smoothing out from the avoided disaster. "The white one is Erzulie Guffawri, you met her," she said, "The one that looks like Bangle is Nathaniel Guffawlins," she said, smiling at her son, who grinned back at her with what looked like Bangle's very own maw. "And this one," she said, nodding to the quiet, small pup that looked like her and Bangle both, "Is Robert Frost Collins." Robert remained silent, observing Sky shyly from his mother's arms. She then nodded at Bangle's question to Sky - she seemed weary, and she was sure that she needed food after the journey home.
