His laughter was another joyful sound in the clearing, though it quickly disappeared. Her possessive movements had drawn a clear line between them, just as she had intended. He could not take her pups away, he could not have them without her. While Terra enjoyed the affection that he showered on the pups, believing it good for them, and very convenient for her to experience, Terra wanted affection as well, and would lock him out if it meant that she would stay with her pups as the most important ones.
Perhaps she should have felt sorry for the distanced look that flashed in Moss' eyes. He had done nothing but be kind to her, and now she was shutting him out in a childish fit. The thoughts didn't cross her mind though, just staying as she was. Her tail wagged behind her, looking to first Ananse, then Loki. Both of them seemed very happy with the toys. They really like them. At least, that was the only reason she could think of for them drooling on the toys and chewing on them.
