Bearclaw Valley been working so hard

fleeting memories of reigi was all little marten had left of his real mother. if you were to ask him where his mother was, he would lead you to @Indra, who had stepped in for the absent mother. she'd taken in what was left of reigi's litter and made them her own. in just a short amount of time, marten would completely forget of any motherly figure that wasn't indra. though, to be fair, reigi hadn't been much of a motherly figure to begin with anyway. 

so when he stumbled outside of the den, one ear still flopped down in a way that was endearing to any onlooker. nose twitching, marten stood a few feet from the den entrance, looking around with big eyes and a twitching nose. his tail wagged slowly at his ankles, looking about as sweet and innocent as any puppy could. "mama?" he barked with a generous amount of concern. he smelled her, maybe, was she nearby?
