Moonspear these are the lessons in love

attn: @Osiris @Atlas @Antares @Vega

She carried with her a dead fox and coyote alike. Either critter had come too close for her own comfort to the borders of Moonspear, though as of late they did fortunately seem to keep well enough away. These two, though, were the exception to that; Hydra came to her children with little more than a smarting knick upon her foreleg that would heal in days earned from the surprising rebuttal of the wily 'yote. The creature was far worse for wear than she was, though for the most part it was, well, whole. Her more vicious methods were not utilized in favor of the opportunity that came from bringing them to her cubs in one piece. None other than their own father had assisted her in the matter of removing the pests, and she thought fondly of @Dirge who likely still scouted for trouble.

Hydra dropped the deceased animals near the mouth of the whelping den, and her arrival effectively relieved @Lyra from her duty of monitoring them. After a brief bout of jaw-sparring with her twin, Lyra went to stretch her own legs—though kept close, as ever. The mother summoned her brood to her with a low, crooning note, tail waving behind her.
