Whitefish River There's not much comfort in this place; I'll keep you safe

She had eventually coxed him inside, which was weird in and of itself because Emirk had never slept alongside any other than his family. Although he considered Speedy family so maybe it wasn’t that weird? Let’s just say, he wasn’t sure how he felt. But he knew he was happy she trusted him enough to call him inside.

He hadn’t heard any rumbling from the woman as she struggled to find a comfortable spot. It wasn’t until gently but intently roused him from his sleep that Emrik knew something was different. “Speedy?” He whispered groggily as he stood and shoke out his pelt to ward of the feeling of sleep. “What happened?” As he became more and more aware he wandered slowly, hesitantly over to her side.

OH GOD! It was time! Giving a nervous shake, Emrik was suddenly a bundle of nerves. But he tried to stay calm for her, his tail nervously twitching behind him. When she glanced his way, he offered the most reassuring smile her could, and kind soothing words when she pushed. He couldn’t believe that tiny bundle that she brought into the world, despite all the gross birth stuff, the kid was actually kinda cute.
