Arrow Lake Who said anything about fun?

she had come back down to the lake after arriving back home.  she'd intended to come back at night to see if this lake had the same reflective qualities as the one she'd shared with mato, but the days had been so nasty and overcast that she doubted she'd get to find out one way or another.  

it was easy to get lost in her thoughts as she traced the edge of the lake before working herself deeper into the territory.  motherhood had been so foriegn to her just weeks before, close but out of her reach.  and now?  she had a little family that would be on the way!

it made her warm and fuzzy inside.  she did not notice the stranger until she heard him growl, and her ears immediately slid back against the delicate forms of her crown.  dont, was all she could plead, her tail and one of her forelimbs moving to shield the children that had just started to take hold in her womb.  fear pulsed quick through her veins as she chewed the inside of her cheek.  terance might actually strangle her if she got into more trouble.
