As Ankh played innocently on the dirt floor of her den, Odessa let her orange eyes watch him, pausing her work. At the moment, she was finely chopping some herbs. Mint, rosemary, thyme, cooking herbs specifically. Rabbit had been captured in bountiful amounts, by Novak, and therefore the small family, and the slave, ate well despite the cold weather. While the weather was okay now, Odessa truly feared the advancing winter. From what she could see so far, Ankh had not been lucky enough to have inherited her own plush coat. Well he had. But unfortunately, it's fluffy appearance was cancelled out by the thinness of the fur itself. Nevertheless, the snowy pup seemed pleased about just about anything he came across. He truly was her pride and joy.
Finishing her work, she tipped the plate full of herbs into the deep pan and turned to her child and slave. 'I'm going out' she said simply, rising to her feet and bidding her son goodbye with a quick pat. She'd not been out as of recently, too busy tending to her own family to run around tending to the plants that still stood. But now with free time on her hands that was exactly what she intended to do. Though her work was paused as her pumpkin orbs settled on Siv, and the smaller girl advanced forward to greet her respectfully. 'Siv'.
