Assuming that some sort of disagreement arose from our previous thread. May edit as needed :)
It was bold of @Alarian to think that he could do a better job of parenting than Queenie would, or that even though he'd never done it himself, he knew one thing about what it was like. A part of her knew that he was only trying to help, but it was too much of a suppressed thought to matter. His attitude had been too present for Queenie to even consider taking most of his advice, especially when she'd already thought so lowly of him as a leader, and as a man.
Nonetheless, she did understand that he had a point in regards to their feeding patterns. While she nursed, Queenie noted that the pups were small (because they were pups, as she had assumed), but now that he'd brought it to her attention, she could see how her absence had physically manifested in each of them. Solomon was near silent, with not even an occasional whine; Mali moved slowly, as though lacking his normal passion for milk; and Bri, she was already spoken for.
Maybe Alarian was right, but Queenie would never give him the satisfaction.
