At her sister's shush, Takiyok's ears went back, and she dipped her head apologetically. This was completely new territory for her, and she didn't want to cause Shivali any distress.

She hoped soon she would get to see the new pups and see with her own eyes that her older sister was okay.

For now, they would all just have to wait. At her brother's invitation, she walked over and sat beside him, giving him an affectionate shoulder bump once she was seated. She hadn't even met the babies yet, but already she felt a fierce protectiveness for them. She knew she would do everything in her power to ensure no harm ever came to them.
