Sunspire Mountains Myotis

Tonravik did not fault her mate for anything. The times had been tumultuous, and he was the one able to travel and scout and find. The alpha female did what she could, but with her time having been so soon she did not test herself and how far she could go; she was not foolish. The familiar sound of his trekking gathered her attention, but she was still in her spell of stillness. Fortunately, he did all the moving for her, and was soon behind her. His touch was a comfort, and the pained woman was tense no more. The alpha female was incredibly independent, but it was good to know she could depend on her mate in arduous times. He had made it out alive, and they had all together ensured their survival.

Her rounded sides rose and fell. She thought for a moment on how she would not see her mate for a while, after giving birth... but that the next time she would see him, he would meet what he had helped create. There were many things she wanted to say to him that she could not articulate. The alpha female had not doubted him once. At last, there was a time of calm... and she embraced it while she could.
