Haunted Wood I've got a cross that I bear but you don't see it

Footsteps, light, but powerful. She bristled, knowing it was only Valour, but she was protective. She was going to raise these children this time, they were not going to fall ill, be taken, or murdered. She wouldn't let @Hashut in the den, but she finally relented after putting herself almost ontop of @Leshen and @Arwen. 

She let out a low chuff. It was a greeting, but also a warning. She didn't want him too close.
Vanity dragged herself up, moving towards the small entrance which Valour now stood at. She wasn't sure he could even fit in, but if Hashut managed to squeeze in then surely he could. She made the den small for a reason and refused to let Hashut make it big boy accessible. 
He had food, so this must be some sort of welfare check.

"Hey," she greeted him. An ear tilted back, hearing her young crying for her warmth.
