@Minnow - come help Grezig figure out what’s wrong with Alsek!
Content warning: Grezig contemplating eating her child.

Alsek’s constant crying was an irritant to Grezig, more so than she thought it would have been. It’s not as though she’d never had babies before. This was her second go around, yet the constant screaming was just as annoying as it had been the first time. Yet, Pele’s near-complete silence was almost worse. It was eerie. It bothered her. She often had to nudge her runt child to make sure the girl was still breathing. Yet, despite Grezig’s dread that she would find her daughter dead one morning, the girl continued breathing and eating. She was simply quieter than her brother… by a lot. Too much.

Alsek was screaming too much. And he wasn’t eating the way he should, yet Grezig had no idea how to fix whatever might be wrong with him. One day, after getting completely fed up with his incessant screaming, she quickly left the den and sat at the entrance, breathing in and out through her nose for a few moments to calm herself down. Simply eating the boy would be easiest. He was still so little, she could probably swallow him almost whole. She pushed that thought away. Alsek was probably the only one of the two who would survive. She still had no confidence in Pele whatsoever, who, despite eating currently more than her brother, was not growing very well. What had gone so terribly wrong this time around? Was it her curse because she had chosen to follow her heart and fuck Kavik? Or had that simply been hormones? Lust, not love? Who knew?

With a sigh, Grezig tilted her head back and called for a healer within the pack, wondering if someone else could tell her what the fuck was wrong with Alsek.
