Dragoncrest Cliffs Eleven's breakfast jams

i am super sorry for the wait on this!

eske studies the babes, wondering what each of them would grow up to be. she'd never really considered pups beyond that she had a duty to help guide them into their life as drakru — which could be said for all of drageda. eske's always been preoccupied by sparring and fights and border patrols. there'd been no place in her mind for things like children. she wasn't the mothering type and she was fairly certain she had zero maternal instincts ...if her failure with furi was of any indication; but perhaps it is only natural that as she looks as wildfire and heda's brood to wonder what it might be like. to be able to contribute to drageda's future in a different way than she's done all her life. of course, the idea of conception and letting any male near her in such a way makes her want to curl her lip ...she thinks if she ever decided she wanted to try being a mother the donor would have to be someone she trusted.

"what's it like?" eske asks suddenly, turning her head from the babes to wildfire. eske realizes, sheepishly, after the question is out of her mouth that she'd been following her own internal thoughts and that the question might come off as utterly random and probably didn't make much sense to her fire-kissed companion. "being a mother, i mean." she amends feeling a slight flush of heat beneath the fur of her face, glad that wildfire couldn't see the blush. "what's it like growing life inside you?" the question was a bit awkward as eske asks it and she doesn't really want to explain to wildfire that she's actually considering it — having kids that is — mostly because her mind could change from now to whenever she went into her first heat. she'd felt pretty lucky that she avoided it this year though she'd been old enough for it to happen.

for a moment eske is tempted to take wildfire up on the offee that she could touch the pups but hesitates and decides not to take it right this minute. she's still unsure of them and given wildfire's warning is afraid she might accidentally hurt them.
