Tormented Tarns stay

Nanuks words were a comfort. If her cubs were weak, they would surely die before long. She could not be sure how they would turn out after the journey, but they felt strong... and to be sure, still caused her plenty of pain. They were undoubtedly still kicking. Tonravik yawned tiredly, flexing her left paw in a light stretch. All throughout the pregnancy up until the storm she had been well-fed and had no trouble at all. But the storm had been greatly stressful... there was no telling how things would end here.

But if they had survived in there throughout it all, she would echo her beta's sentiments. Her dark eyes sought the woman now. She thought of the polar bears perseverance, and to compliment the find, Tonravik merely said, "I prefer this place." Nanuk had been with her from the beginning, when she had usurped the Spine from who had previously claimed it. The place had been destroyed, but it mattered not. She had all but forgotten about the past of the place, having so aptly made it her own... and while there was something about taking, she was content to continue her legacy here. If moving was not necessary, she would not have done so. The alpha female imagined she would remain here for many, many years.
