Larksong Grotto Adidas

Jhala's absence around the borders of the territory was keenly felt for the past week or so. It was of no issue to Hiram, but he had to pick up the slack she left for him -- leaving him little time to spend with his daughters. She believed her condition to be deteriorating, but being a seasoned healer, Hiram knew her ailment all too well. His wife was not sick, but pregnant, and it was obvious to all but her.

He returned to his grotto after a making a quick pit-stop at the cache. He unearthed a small meal to bring with him to present to Jhala; a rabbit, crusted with a thin layer of dirt. "Morning Sunshine," he spoke gingerly as he dropped her delivery right between her outstretched forepaws before attempting to nose her awake.
