Blackfeather Woods when you feel the world around you

Takiyok had been gone a while now with no update. She doesn’t know how far she’s gone or what successes she has and it leaves her anxious. Being away from Tomkin for so long hasn’t left a great feeling in the pit of her stomach. As capable as her younger siblings are, it has become much easier to jump to worry since the birth of her children.
 
They sleep, curled up next to each other and it is surprisingly easy to unwind and @Tahani replaces her as their heater. They’d finished eating not too long ago and she thanks her sister with a gentle nuzzle before she retreats out of the den and stretches her legs along the way. When she is free of the underground prison, she shakes out her thick tundra fur. The dust particles shine in the afternoon light, illuminating around her until they settle. When she turns to her left, deciding what to do, she sees @Siarut just ahead, lingering near the den as a silent protector, despite their separation from one another.
