Kildeer Rest you're the ocean and she's desperate to drown

It was possible the commander hadn't given much thought to it. Although Wildfire had mentioned wanting a family in passing before, she knew Thuringwethil had never expected to have such things for herself and may have not really contemplated it much in depth. But the affirmation came and her stomach felt like it was full of butterflies, only they were on fire. She did not find the next few words discouraging. She merely nodded, knowing that it was more about nature than anything else.

Speaking of which, Wildfire put her muzzle close to her lover's ear and said, "I want to experience it, all of it: pregnancy, birth, motherhood." In other words, she wanted to carry their first litter. But what if Thuringwethil wanted that honor for herself? Perhaps there was something sacred about being housed within the Heda. But it was just as likely that the opposite was true, that the commander was never meant to subject her vessel to such things. Wildfire wasn't sure and selfishly hoped that, one way or the other, Thuringwethil would allow her this.
