Dragoncrest Cliffs Your heart full of foxes

Although she hated to leave the pups, Wildfire needed an occasional break to step outside, relieve herself and stretch her legs. She never went far, simply milling about the area immediately adjacent to the log. Usually @Thuringwethil switched spots with her for the duration, though on this particular outing, the commander was busy elsewhere. The Feisripa stuck particularly close, constantly shooting glances at the litter and keeping her ears pricked for any noises of distress even as she walked in slow circles to work out the kinks in her shoulders and legs.

Before climbing back inside, she parked beside the mouth of the whelping den and simply smiled down at the brood. @Kiwi and @Bat were fast asleep, the latter upside down as per usual. @Silkie and @Tux were a little more lively. Their mother watched, easily entertained, though the sound of footsteps caused her to glance upward. She hoped it was her mate returning, or maybe @Artaax, @Blixen or @Bobby paying a visit.
