Just like Larus, Maera did not yet notice the prize dangling from mommy's jaws. The fiery babe was lying flat on her belly, her eyes blinking slowly as her little brother stirred beside her --waking her from her beauty nap.

She expelled a cry, half in protest of being woken and half greeting her lovely mother home. After a couple more blinks she lifted her chin to look at her progenitor's face. It was then that she realized mommy had brought something. Maera wriggled herself free from the embrace of the sleeping bodies of her siblings and with her little eyes fixed on the treat she wobbled to mommy's feet. "Ma?", she begged enthusiastically, showering her mother's feet with kisses so she'd give her the gift.
