Temo jumped at Jace's sudden call and the harshness of it. His ears laid back because he thought he had done something wrong. Memories of his parents calling him in a similar manner when he was a young pup. He wondered why she would talk to him like that. She never have before, even the few times she was angry with him.
His ears came up when she asked him to come into the den to see the pups. They swiveled around in confusion when he remembered that it had sounded like they died at birth. The tone of her voice also confused him. There was something wrong, he could feel it, but could not put a claw on it. He laid there for a few moments wondering what could be wrong.
Temo raised up and shook his fur out. More for trying to shake the fears from him and dry his muzzle from the tears that had silently ran down and soaked the fur on his face than to clean out the forest detritus that had collected on it. Slowly and hesitantly, he moved around off the log and crawled through the entrance to join Jace.
He was greeted by a wide eyed Jace staring at him and holding the two lifeless pups. He felt something break deep within his chest when he saw the look in her eyes and stopped. There was something different, something wrong, Jace as he knew her was not all there any more. Fear deep inside him started building up, fear that he might be loosing her.
He looked at the pups and his heart fell as he could see they were not nursing or breathing. He knew that they did not survive. He choked back the tears that were threatening to flow again. "They are beautiful, he quietly whispers as if not to wake them. "What are their names? he continued.
