his brother stirred against him, stronger and hungrier.
siku found himself a bit feeble and tired. baby whines escaped him as he mushed against the ground. it was cold here. cold and the expanse felt endless when he was not immediately pressed upon somebody.
he grew more and more upset with this.
soon enough the smell of fresh urine tinged the den's atmosphere.

Aquene had been resting with her children close to her when she felt the oldest start to stir. Her eyes barely dragged open before Siku was joining in with his chorus.
She sighed softly, sitting up with a yawn before gently humming in hopes that the vibration from her throat might soothe them even if they could not hear, attempting to hush her children and soothe them, tongue running over both of them to groom them before the scent of urine filled the den.
It was a joy of motherhood that everyone had failed to mention.

Nanuq had only two senses to work with, and one of those was being assaulted by the acrid smell of his twin's urine. His pugged nose worked furiously as he lifted his wobbly head and tried to pinpoint the source, but then Aquene was tumbling them over to groom their tiny bodies.
The elder twin squeaked in protest, but made no effort to fight it; he was much too lazy for that.

there was suddenly a lot of warmth around him. warmth that smelled horrible and warmth that smelt familiar.
he was a sad, little boy. too weak to do anything about a problem of his own doing.
so he cried and fussed some more despite the soothing attempts of his mother.
sorry your son was such a disaster already, mom.

She found herself rising, carefully picking up one of the twins and moving them to the other side of the den away from the soiled dirt, fetching the other one right after. She curled around them, continuing her efforts to clean them. She’d turn the dirt later which would help. She had moved closer to the mouth of the den in the hopes that they would find some contentment.
“It’s okay, little ones…” She hoped the soft timbre of her voice might soothe them as well.

If there was anything worse than being rolled about for grooming time, it was being hoisted into the air.
Nanuq squirming was a rarity, but today there was no shortage of kicks and wriggles as he was lifted off the ground. He grunted and strained to no avail. Aquene had too strong a grip. Thankfully, she made sure it was a short trip.
When he was laid on the ground, he thought that was the end of it, but then Aquene resumed the grooming session. Having had enough of his perpetual naptime being interrupted, Nanuq began to wail in earnest.

his whole world continued to shift and shake. once acid, now an earthquake and now he soared through the air. none of it enjoyable, all of it leaving him just as fussy.
desperately, he sought to worm his way to his brother's side.
and it would be there that they would be crying children together.

This was supposed to be a beautiful time in her life… and yet she desired for the twins to start to gain their independence, despite independence’s own anxieties that it brought about in the young mother. It was Nanuq that started to wail… and then Siku joined in and she groaned softly, humming a soft lullaby to them as she halted the grooming, the rancid taste still on her tongue as she curled around them more, pulling them closer to her in the hopes that the warmth and sound of her heartbeat might mimic utero sounds and help lull them to sleep once more… she had not yet learned how to deal with these things and in that moment she wished Towhee were there. She’d been through this before and probably already knew what to do.
RE: blue child, repeat it in your head - Nanuq - June 24, 2022
Siku's nearness helped a little, but not enough to silence Nanuq. He went on whining and crying for some time despite Aquene's best efforts to soothe the twins. Eventually, he wore himself out and his whining turned to grunts and lip-smacking, signalling Nanuq had drifted off to dreamland.
RE: blue child, repeat it in your head - Siku - July 01, 2022
eventually, both of them cried theirselves into dreamland. soft sounds only existed now in snotty blubbering snores from siku, his brother sounded as however he did.
at least their mother had found eventual peace.
RE: blue child, repeat it in your head - Aquene - July 22, 2022
Their cries continued despite her attempts to soothe them, not understanding what to do next… thankfully, they had seemed to tire themselves out. They both drifted off to sleep and she let out a soft sigh of relief, curling up around them to take a nap herself. Peace. Peace washed over her and it did not take long for her to join them in dreamland.
