Catori Corten had never done anything in halves and in her pregnancy, she did not fail her standard of living. She thought a few times she'd felt a kick or a twitch of muscle, something not hers and yet absolutely hers from time to time. She was feeling more antsy, anxious in a sense of what she was doing and more accurately what she still needed to do. Catori had visited with Grayday earlier and learned of his tasking Easy to the densite. She'd decided then to part with her husband for the sake of adding to her own den too - there was something deep and instinctive in her that said it was important that she dig the den she'd bring her babies earthside in. 

When she found Easy the girl was deep in her task and Catori didn't say anything for a moment, just overwhelmed emotionally by the sight. It was something else to see the older siblings preparing for the younger, from @Sunny offering food often and making a point to hunt for her and now Easy physically digging a den for her it just hit her and for a moment she was dumbfounded. What a strange emotion for Catori who almost always had words to offer. After a bit she finally got herself together, brushing her shoulder against Easy's before she set to the task to help the girl with the digging. "At least it won't show up as much on your coat - I'm going to really miss the hot springs when I try and get this mud off later." Catori said with a little laugh.

Pema was walking though the territory when she heard the sound of a conversation. As she got closer she could recognize that the two voices were comming from Easy and Cat. She came up and saw Easy digging, what Pema assumed to be a den, into the side of a hill with Cat supervising near by.

She walked up to the pair right at the end of Easy's question. "Hello ladies." she said with a smile standing next to the two. Pema was no stranger to making dens and often prefered them to sleeping in the open, especially when she needed to treat over night patients. "Are we making a den?" she asked a bit rhetorically. "I was thinking of making one for myself, but I could help you two out before that if you would like." she offered with a smile. It wasn't as though she thought Easy or Cat couldn't do it themselves, but Cat was pregnanct and more paws was always quicker when making a den.

 

Catori felt her heart warm at Easy's assurance that they hadn't lost all their waterways. She smiled at the girl, tail wagging behind her a few times. "You'll have to show me around, I haven't gone too far." Catori admitted easily. It was just how things had ended up; she hadn't avoided it but at the same time she felt distracted by the world itself right then. When Easy moved to let her see the entrance Catori squeezed herself a bit into it, grinning at the girl. She gave a bump of her skull against Easy's shoulder. "I think we'll make it a bit bigger for your dad," She hummed before starting to dig again. "I won't mind but it might be easier for Gray to have more space."She was guessing but if she didn't have her full vision going into a densite might make her more claustrophobic if she couldn't see properly. 

She continued to dig until she heard Pema, looking back over her shoulder with a smile. "Easy got a head start," She said proudly, but she certainly wouldn't have shied away from the task. "If you'd like to, we could make some more headway and then scout out space for you - or at least a cache for your herbs if you'd like." Catori wouldn't mind helping out and keeping her mind off things, she'd been far more anxious since they had moved and she expected it had to do with the pregnancy more than anything.

Pema smiled in Easy's direction when she heard that the girl had taken the initiative for the den. Always eager to help, like Lavender, but with an entirely different level of drive that Pema admired. Cat accepted Pema's offer to help and seemed very willing to help Pema with her own den. She gave Cat a smile, but was definatly more eager to help her with her den then to start on her own. "Thank you very much. But I'm not even going to think about starting my den till yours is done. After all, you're going to have some very important company comming soon." she said refering to her unborn children.

Pema remembered a time when she wasn't quite sure about Cat. She seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and developed this close bond with Day so quickly, Pema wasn't sure how to feel about her. But now there was no doubt that she was a member of this family. Pema was really excited to see the new litter of pups to come, but she also enjoyed the idea of spending more time with Cat in the process. 

Rather then try to squeeze into the small den in progress Pema thought to work form the outside. Starting with the door that seemed a bit small in Pema's opinion. From there she could help scoop out the dirt pile that was being made by Cat and Easy as they worked on the inside.

She smiled and laughed a bit when Easy asked her question. "No hun. I'm too young to be having kids. Plus I don't have anyone to have kids with. I just want a den to sleep in and to keep my herbs." it would also serve as the packs medical center if need be.
