Moonspear kunikkaa ❇

Jarilo's ears tipped up, over the meat his measured over carefully as he would not step in the way of any detail she might have for him. Silently, he hoped to encourage her for more--or at least a true start, because he didn't intend to judge, or worse, not in wanting to help somehow, distant or not. Something was.. not one-hundred and he wasn't sure if he should just get his nose out of it or keep it there, but, more of the picture slowly became clear.. clear as mud, at first as he digested her symptoms.

Odd, sick. But not sick sick, maybe? Attempting to piece this together as he peeled pheasant meat, he felt the furrow creeping onto his brow as he worked his teeth--how to tiptoe around wheedling information from Lyra to help, if Kukutux did not already have the remedy like she probably did, or maybe how he might procure that fix--but, wait. He did not think he was seeing wrong, a hint of an upturn to her lips, making him just tilt his head at her vaguely confused.

Until she spelled it out for him--a father. He was quick with the rest and suddenly sitting very upright, meal aside. You do? he didn't mean for the question to come rushing forward, more urged by surprise than doubt. So soon, it seemed, with everything he'd been busy, admittedly. Not that he knew anything about it except that it was all guided by mysterious women time and to never cross a gravid one; Moonspear's litters were few, his mother hideously private over her last and his closeness to Hydra didn't always extend into those realms.. especially not during last year.

But, Jarilo beat his tail on the earth and reached to nuzzle his snout against hers, light with the touch though he lingered with it. That's.. really? I mean, I hope so, because he'd take some good news, no matter how daunting the implication: them, parents, and more pups on Moonspear alongside Dirge and Hydra's a very real possibility. So not to get overwhelmed, he'd seek to understand from her, his greatest source of guidance in this--this theirs. Is that a normal thing to feel.. off, because of it? I don't mean to be too happy about you feeling bad, really.. he ended in a soft laugh, letting the oh shit of it all get comfortable with a big exhale after.
