Sun Mote Copse Another summer wasted

Niamh smiled as Maia congratulated her. It felt nice to have others appreciate her, even if it was just because she was going to have puppies. Considering how high a value Niamh had placed on having kids as soon as she was physically able to, the compliments she'd receive in the upcoming days and weeks would have a glowing effect on her ego. "Thanks Maia," She said, shifting slightly so that her posture was a bit more relaxed. Sure, she'd let this lower ranked member relax and bask in her company- she was glowing, right? Even though she was a bit nauseous, she still felt proud that she was pregnant. She'd share some of her happiness with Maia, like a proud, albeit somewhat slightly conceited ruler. 

So when Maia mentioned the way her pups might look, she felt her ego being preened even more. It made her feel nice to know that Maia admired the way she looked, and the way Colt looked as well. "They're gonna be little sexbombs, that's for sure," She said- but just so that she didn't seem too conceited, she added "I just hope they're better behaved than me an' Colt. All things considered, they wouldn't have to try too hard to meet that bench mark," She said. "Otherwise, I suppose these kiddos will be called something like 'comeuppance' and 'payback.'"
