OMG. <3 Fi is so precious. <333 I am so stoked to thread with you!

As the child fumbled around to look at her, Raven thought her heart might explode. She just couldn't handle how adorable the tiny girl was. She had a brief flashback to when her own siblings had been this young, and a small part of her missed it. Puppies were so amazing, and they always held such a powerful grip on her heart. There was not a shadow of a doubt that Raven would love these children as her own, just as she had her brothers and sisters. It was the way of the wolf, but more than that, it was the way of Raven.

She felt a thrill as Fiadh began to toddle toward her, and she smiled and made encouraging motions to the girl. After a few wobbly moments, Fi sat down in front of Raven, clearly tired but proud of herself. The healer praised the girl by showering her with gentle kisses, hoping she understood that she'd done a very good job. Learning to walk was hard work for one so young and weak, and what had just happened was a monumental achievement. Honestly, Raven was honored she'd been able to witness it. Smiling and wagging her tail, she backed away from the girl a few feet, beckoning her to try again.
