She lay in the folds of the blankets and furs watching as her mate played at his one silly secret. He had the strangest fondness for tea and often she found him mixing and sampling different combinations of the herbal liquid. She couldn't help but smile sleepily at this, knowing that he would probably ignore any comment she made towards the drink he was preparing. Instead she just observed him. until his eyes turned towards her. She felt her ears pin back slightly, as though she was being judged, though she knew there was nothing that Helotes didn't already know about her and nothing to hide. Well, nothing she was hiding exactly.
It didn't take long before the features across his face slowly began to change, once more he spoke in that sultry dark language, his eyes widening as his whole nature changed. The tiny woman didn't like this reaction one bit, her eyes narrowing and her ears pinning back. It seemed that Helotes had finally noticed the one change in her she hadn't come right out and mentioned in the past moon. A soft growl rose in her throat as he asked, the pygmy creature growing touchy at the subject as she spat. ""It doesn't matter.." It wasn't that she didn't care for their pups growing within her womb, it was the fear of not knowing what was coming, what might become of them, of her.
She had refused to really acknowledge their existence until now, Helotes questions were harder to ignore or put off than the general population and while she didn't want to be cruel, she wasn't ready for this change.. or the possible paths down the line she had no control over.
