Northstar Vale Entropy

Vespera was deep in her den with her squirming pups as they were already playing with each other, but she didn't have the mental strength to join them as their squeaks rang through the den. The pups were happy, but she couldn't bring herself to meet their excitement which she normally would have done but after that convo with Reiko, she just couldn't bring herself to do anything anymore. But the familiar and warm voice of Collision brought her out of her thoughts and she craned her head up with a miserable expression that she tried to fix so that Collision wouldn't suspect anything.

Vespera sighed and brought herself to her feet and slumped to the mouth of the den with bags in her eyes and a lifeless stare as she stared onto his face. "Oh, Hi Coll," she tried to muster up some sort of happy greeting but it was short of her usual spunk so it just came off as monotone. The Duchess's eyes lazily looked down at the fish that he had brought which she had totally forgotten that he was helping her while she was nursing her pups. "Thanks," she mumbled and took the fish into her mouth and turned away back into the den and set the fish somewhere in a place that the pups would hopefully not get to for she couldn't bring herself to eat it.
