Doe had worried about her daughter ever since the Drop. She hadn't seen much of the girl recently and it bothered her quite a bit. Had she realized yet that Doe was pregnant? Did she even know what that was? Doe realized that she'd been neglecting her foster daughter. She'd allowed the girl's silence to fuel her own silence instead of pushing past that and teaching her what she needed to know.

That would change now, and the first thing Doe needed to tell her daughter was that she loved her, and would continue to love her after she bore Szymon their brood.

But when she reached the end of the girl's scent trail, all such thoughts seemed to flee. Her lips peeled back in a silent snarl as she took in the sight of the younger, newer pup menacing at her girl.

Words were not what she wanted between herself and the insolent creature, but he stank of Skellige, and so Doe would limit herself.

"Why are you mistreating my girl?" she asked icily, stepping over and past her daughter to bear down on the greyscale twerp.
