Moonspear but i know that i love you so

There was a certain sense of routine to everything this time. Last time, Charon had been fretful and there had been a dark thing looming over the pair of them. He had worked hard to make the den this time, like he had last time, to make sure that she had a place to go to and where she could be comfortable. Charon never left her alone for long this past week, knowing that time was drawing nearer to birth.

He was out for one of his quick patrols when it happened and when he returned he knew that it was time. Charon waited patiently outside of the den and kept guard so that she may focus on the things that she needed to do. It wasn't until he heard the first soft mewls of life come from the den that he dug up a nearby cache — near enough so he could keep an eye on the den's mouth — and brought a piece of rabbit to Amekaze that he had put there a few days prior in preparation. He chuffed to announce his presence and lowered himself to his stomach so that he could look inside, though he made no intention to actually go inside — for these first weeks his place would be as guardian outside while she tended to the most fragile bits of their lives.
