Redhawk Caldera Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates

The uptick in the pups' vocalizations was not such a bad thing. In a lot of ways, Fox enjoyed their senseless babbling, and it meant that they were coming along just right as far as speech development went. Startled awake by Dhole's latest antics, she blinked as her red daughter continued to babble about... well, whatever it was she was babbling about. Fox glanced at Peregrine, then said, "I'll take her." What Wifi wanted, Fox wasn't quite sure about, but it was clear that she'd been pent-up all day and wasn't going to stand for it much longer. The rain had died down quite a bit anyway, and Fox had never minded it anyway.

Fox nudged Dhole outside, following closely behind. While she was protective of the children, Fox knew that giving them some freedom was imperative to them maturing correctly. Not enough supervision, and they were in danger from predators. Too much supervision, and they would never learn to deal with things on their own. Fox blinked away the droplets that accumulated on her eyelashes like tiny clinging monkeys, then turned to Dhole. "What did you want to do out here, anyway?" she asked. True, Wifi probably wouldn't know exactly what she was asking, but talking to the pups seemed natural.
