Thuringwethil doesn’t know if she’d ever admit it, but she doesn’t feel much differently than her mate. The excitement of the night, learning of the growth of their family, has sent sensation all the way to her nerve endings. She’s certain the last thing she can do right now is sleep and so she diligently chooses to stick close to her new little family. Her tail thumps idly on the ground and she presses her nose to each squirming babe and concentrating on how differently they smell from one another. A heavy sigh escapes her, pleased with her new life.

The remembrance of Antler, however, causes her head to lift after a moment and she slowly and carefully stands and gives the fallen boy a nudge with her nose before she gingerly scoops him up and steps out into the night. She takes him to @Dio to bury, knowing she cannot do it for her son, but she does not leave until the mound of dirt is covered and packed.

When she finally does return, a little dirtier than before and empty of their child, she tries to settle in close to them once more and reuniting with her children.
