Dawnlark Plains New Life

cameo as always; if they're not close enough to the den for this then dm me on disco and i'll delete this post.  tags are for reference and not (necessarily) inclusion!

kasatka was usually comfortable next to her mother's warm, plush pelt but today was different.  her baby blue eyes had opened and her gums hurt, most likely from the milk teeth that would soon start to come in.

her tiny little nose wiggled towards the bright spot that betrayed the mouth of the den, and her little ears cupped foward the best they could as daddy's rumblings started to form something a little more like words.

mmmm.  muh.  muh-muh-nnn.  her lips played with trying to imitate them (with little luck) and surprised at being able to hear herself speak, she gave a delighted babble that was probably able to be heard by pema and with any luck, stir some kind of maternal instinct in her.
