make the streams for our children flow

OOC: hopefully the PP of Fritz going with Selene is alright? :o she wouldn't leave without him....

Since the miscarriage, the young hybrid had found herself in a state of hurt, so deeply. Her litter, in which she first found pride in had been lost, like a beautiful tapestry being unraveled to nothing but tattered threads, her first real beautiful creation had been torn to shreds. For Fritz, the Italian had strived to be strong, tried to hold her head high and be more of an optimist. Physically, it was not the truth. Her body hurt, her muscle tone depleted completely. Perhaps Fritz could tell when he held her that her bones jutted out more than usual, and she was often tired to do anything. Her strength was almost gone...

She sat in the little sitting room in the shared house between herself and her mate, blanket wrapped around herself, reddish eyes glancing sadly out the window. It seemed Vinátta had headed out to the lake, something the Vansenza coyote really didn't want to do. Some would know of her loss, and really--What energy did she have to go?

It was a celebration of light, of welcoming to the Coli and the Stormbringer's new bundles of joy, and within the young woman felt herself obligated to congratulate them. Sel stood, pulled the cloak around herself, walking over to pull Fritz into an embrace, a muzzle falling under his throat on her tiptoes. C'mon, love. A cloak was pulled around her body, and they left, hand in hand.

Next to Fritz at the ceremony, Selene quietly watched, happy to see what was happening. She noted how pretty Colibri looked, much more radiant surrounded by such beautiful children. A gentle envy had started, just admiration over her ability to hail such wonderful beings. She squeezed Fritz's hand, happy to know that Colibri was now in the leadership ranks.

The Risna felt her mourning dissipate if only for a little while. This was home, this was where she had come to be happy, to raise a family. Soon she would have one, if only she was stronger. And to strengthen she would try. It was a good day to be here, to find her strength by watching the newest generation be blessed.
