It was hard to ignore the bump that had developed, the same weird shape it had been last year. The first few weeks had gone by with her thinking she might've not even gotten pregnant, that last time had been some freak accident and it wouldn't happen again that easily. It seemed she had been wrong, only this time she had no clue who their father was gonna be. Not that she cared all that much, she would have her babies and raise them just like how she did with Eilonwy - probably better now that she had some experience under her belt.

Only when the dizziness and frequent urination came did she suspect she might be pregnant. Then came her swollen teats, her baby bump, and just now... She could've sworn she felt a kick. With a big grin had she placed herself upon a rock near the creek, basking in the sun she had missed all winter. Spring always smelt so nice, not to mention the butterflies that came back to greet them - the same creatures she had once been named after.

Her ears swiveled and she quickly caught sight of the approaching female. She hadn't paid much attention to the new recruits they had gathered, even though this one had stolen her rank. As one of, if not THE, longest standing member of Swiftcurrent Creek, she found it a rather offensive decision to demote her - not that she held that against Rosalie. It was the leading pair that was bothering her, no matter how inoffensive they had been in their interactions. Her rank was her pride, her commitment to a pack one of her defining qualities. Did no one see this? Appreciate her longevity and drive?

In short: her mood was ruined and she didn't speak French. Uhh... hiya? She greeted. Ya need anythin'? Chusi wasn't the only one with pups this year. Perhaps she needed to go hunt or scout, an order now that she could still follow it.

Of course no one had something important to tell her. She slouched over her nice warm rock as the energy that had built up in her limbs evaporated. Kavik had probably already forgotten she even lived here now that he had his harem of females that were apparently better than her. Ugh, she almost wished she had not gotten herself pregnant so she could escape this dump, even if just for a little while to visit the coast or go search for Ingram. If she did that though, she might never see Eilonwy again... if her daughter would ever return from her travels.

Thanks, but I got this. 'Been through it before. She smiled her sweetest smile, then yawned her biggest yawn as she stretched herself out. 'You hungry? I know how to fish, if you're up for waterrabbit.

If she wasn't so pregnant, she would've been running around the Creek trying to offer her help too. Since she obviously wasn't the favourite sub here anymore though, perhaps it was good she had an excuse for not pulling her weight. Her goal was to be liked and appreciated and she was far off that goal around here. She had always been called important so perhaps she was just being a brat, but tell that to her feelings.

'Grew up near the coast, we didn't have much else. She smiled then, ever so gracefully - more like a beached whale rolling on its side - getting off her sunbathing spot. 'Can teach ya? She offered. Her babies would love some fish too of course. It didn't matter who the father was, they were gonna be Fearghals and enjoy her cooking otherwise they could go and find another home.
