Bearclaw Valley faded into the night

Scarlett sat at the river listening to the peaceful sounds of the birds chirping. She did like the mornings. Suddenly all grew quiet and she wondered if there was any danger for her. She tensed her muscles for a moment but relaxed when she saw the huge figure of Arthur. He looked sleepy and clearly came for a drink. He didn't even seem to notice her at first. Yet then his nose probably picked up on her and he looked up. "Oh Miss Scarlett," he spoke surprised, his eyes falling to her belly. "Oh no little wolves," he grunted. "I mean-- Congratulations." Scarlett just chuckled. "Hi, Arthur. Thank you. I will make sure they aren't bothering you," she smiled. The bear just shook his head and then drank for a moment before bidding her goodbye.

Scarlett watched him leave and Raziel arrived. She was eager for the food. She instantly attacked the juiciest rabbit and started wolfing it down like she hadn't eaten in months. Once she finished the rabbit her red eyes fell on Raziel. "Good morning," she smiled to then feast on the next rabbit, having the squirrel for desert. Scarlett hunger finally being stilled. "I feel like a beast," she then chuckled. "Different that is for sure. Thank you Raziel. For taking care of me. Have you heard anything from Kove?" Always that same question. Scarlett held hope that he would actually be there by the birth of his children. "Do you think something happened to him?"
