Loki and Ananse were growing well. Terra had started feeding them bits of meat, mainly regurgitating it back to them. The slim coyote was fairly certain that if anyone saw how she was raising her pups, in such a feral manner, the pack members would be shocked. They were plenty more civilized than she was. The pack accepted outsiders of all kinds, luckily so Terra didn't have to worry about being treated badly over it. Just strange looks.
Outside Terra watched the brothers play in the nearby stream. She didn't want either of them to get hurt, still tottery in their steps. It was close to the den though, and she couldn't deny them. Ananse fell over, whines escaping him as water rushed over his body. In an instant the mother was there, scooping him up and placing him on the shore. Loki was treated similarly, despite protests. They could return to the water once she calmed down.
