Verdigris Ravine But even lights can fade away

Candle's appetite had never been so demanding as it was while she nursed her children. Even in her pregnancy she'd remained relatively slim. Now, in the aftermath, her figure had softened and filled with new curves. The scents of milk and prey-blood clung to her.

While the children slept, the priestess took a quiet meal, perhaps brought by @Zoug or @Koa. Candle hunted when she could, but most often her attention was devoted entirely to her growing pups. Soon enough she would be teaching them to hunt.

At times it felt as if it all passed by too quickly.

Ko'a's four legs reached out, stretching as far as they could as she lay, so that her belly was flush on the warm sands. She rest outside the den, panting still from her hunt she had brought to Candle. 

When Candle seemed nearly done, This one can keep watch, if new mother wishes to stretch legs too. Ko'a would offer, though she was not certain Candle trusted her enough with this. She and S'ari were both new mothers and closer to each other. Ko'a had not yet been mother. Her seasons excursions had not took.
