Hideaway Strath ceathairéad

Hemlock tucked in on herself not only to not crowd the family but because as Arturo and Dagfinn both approached to inspect the brood she was acutely aware that she was not family. She lowered herself respectfully to her Alpha, certainly not groveling but she was tired from the extensive day and she wanted to not make any other waves either. She just wanted to take an outside approach, but until Lotte directed Arturo's attention to the two children born still Hemlock finally unwound herself to allow the father to inspect those babies. She lifted herself from them, moving as gingerly as if they lived, and took a couple steps back so that she was not in the way. It suddenly was near suffocating, and Hemlock offered a bow to each of them - it didn't feel right to stay now that her task was fulfilled and beyond that, a new one would start soon. Sirius would be delivered to her, and she would need to invest her energies in finding a suitable place for both of them to live that was nearby but not encroaching on the Fearghal cubs. 

"If you need me, I will be within earshot." Hemlock said softly as she turned to crawl out of the den to allow the family time to enjoy this moment together. If they called or stopped her, she would comply, otherwise she would let them bask in one another in peace and relative quiet.
