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

Yep! She squeaked an answer as Tobi as next to come onto the scene. She tried to be quiet, but the high pitch was hard to swallow as it remained caught in her throat. Nervously she sat next to the den's entrance, as straight as a tree trunk, anxious as ever, she was not keeping her cool at keeping her distance from Speedy as she did what should come naturally. Speedy was a great healer to boot if she did not ask for help, there was no need to crowd the woman. 

Chai was next to appear and just as everyone else, was as curious about how it was going in there. Reiko's ears drew toward the den, anticipating perhaps an answer - nothing. She grew more and more concerned, excited, a ball of energy just waiting to explode into action! Tick tock... tick tock, time felt like an eternity as she waited, as they all gathered outside to wait until finally, the exhausted Speedy came to invite them in to see the pups. 

With a sigh of relief, Reiko laid down. Finally, it was all over. Despite Speedy's exhaustion, all seemed well. She chose to remain outside, for now, to give everyone else a turn and perhaps some more space for the new mother. Reiko would stay at the den's entrance for a little while longer, only to go find some gifts for the new mother and her children later.
