Quietly steals this

Taki moved along the borders as well, keeping an eye out for trouble despite feeling her usual mix of fatigue and nausea. It seemed like just over the last day or so, her abdomen had grown bigger and more rounded, enough that anyone who saw would know she held growing life inside her. The roundness caused a weird swaying of her mid section as she walked, and she wondered how it would look when she was even bigger. It mattered little to the northerner, though, never one to be much concerned with how things looked; she could still explore and hunt and be a productive member of the pack, and that was most important to her. 

She caught Mahler's scent as she made her way silently through their claim and quickened her pace until she saw his dark form up ahead. As she neared, she released a soft chuff. Do you want company? she asked as she moved to his side. If he wanted to be alone, then she would go on her way, but she hoped that wasn't the case; his company was by far one of her favorites to keep.
