Blacktail Deer Plateau I'd Rather Not

“The kids...” Fox trailed off, “They didn’t have a whole lot to say. I don’t plan on being their mother, since they still have Hawkeye, Peregrine, and you.” Thankfully, Fox would be relieved of that duty. Of course, when spring rolled around, she would doubtless have her own little ones to look after. Some may have been terrified at the thought, but Fox had known for as long as she could remember that it was her duty (and now her right) to bring life into the world. The children who were already here had parents, and Peregrine had told her that there was no need for a fourth.

“As for the others, I had met them previously,” she confessed with a shrug. “Rina was a short-lived member of the creek some months ago, and I met Finn when he was searching for a place to belong.” They were both newcomers to the plateau, so they did not have the same alliances as some of the longer-standing members did. Fox was well-aware that there would be tension as they accepted her as their new leader... or left the pack entirely. She wondered which category Kisu fell under. Considering his children were here, she doubted he would leave them.
