Northstar Vale You Should be Standing Tall

With the help of Awenfen, her puppies were healthy and happily safe in the den that she had made for them and since she was one of the original founding members of the Empire, she was able to make a nice and large enough den for herself. But she wasn't expecting to have pups so it all worked out in the end anyway. The woman looked at her young, the two lives that she had birthed were sleeping on top of each other and with each moment that she laid her eyes on them, a new found love for them was starting to grow in her isolated heart. But she had to tell them about their father one day, or approach him about it, what would she say? The Duchess took full responsibility for what had happened that night so if he wanted nothing to do with them, she would understand, or she tried to convince herself that she would understand.

The dark woman had to put that aside for now and focus on what was going on now, she had beautiful pups with her that didn't even have names for she was pondering on what to call them. Vespera would also have to save those thoughts for later as a chuff rang through her ears, her ears were perked as she swiveled her head towards the den entrance. Maybe if I just ignore them... They will go away... she thought to herself but figured it was foolish since the stranger had a nose and could smell she was in there. Turning to her young she lowered her head to them, "you two stay right here, I will be back," she whispered as if her newborns could understand what she was saying with the two pups snoring away.

The Duchess got to her paws and slowly emerged from her den and was met with a somewhat familiar face since she has seen this male before so at least he was of Reneian kind, but she still only poked her head out. "Yes? Is there something you need?" She sounded a little tired but tried to sound polite enough so that her annoyance didn't slip through her tone of voice.
