The Sunspire little star

she did not immediately rise when there came the approach of someone from outside, because she was so thoroughly enjoying the warmth of okeanos' tiny body as she pressed against it. her mother didn't seem very keen to get up either, not when her little ones were so content and quiet — but @Seabreeze eventually got up and ventured to the entry of the den, where she found wraen and an offering; in the next few moments perhaps they exchanged words, perhaps her mother merely accepted the gift and lost interest afterwards, but ibis was ignorant to the behaviors of the adults. she yawned slowly, stretched her little legs, and realized that her mother had left an empty spot - a cold spot - beside them.

curious of this development, little ibis rolled to her feet and staggered her way after the scent of her mother. as she got near to the den mouth, she spotted her friend wraen and let out a flurry of babbles, climbing around the stilted legs of her caregiver as she closed the gap. seeing that her daughter was well attended, seabreeze went back to tend to okeanos - but she'd keep an ear out for issues should they arise, ever vigilant of her beloved children.

ibis was of course, ignorant of the offered duck. perhaps it was already inside the den at this point - she didn't know, and didn't hold much interest in the scent of solid food yet. but she did have an appreciation for wraen, who had earned her babbled praises and gleeful giggling within moments of their reunion.
