The sound of her daughter's shriek woke her from whatever brief slumber she had found, and when Ibis looked blearily around the usually cramped den floor, she could count only one bundle. Even dazed by sleep she felt suddenly sick to her stomach, her heart jumping in to her throat. Where was Lilitu?
Unfurling herself, she turned towards the blinding light at the den mouth and plunged in to it. At first she couldn't tell what she was looking at; her eyes burned, and slowly Reiko's figure came in to view—a pale child at her feet, and beyond them both was her wailing grey daughter. She stumbled around a moment as she gathered her balance and swept to where Lilitu lay against the dirt, nosing at her, probing her for possible injuries while her heart raced faster faster faster.
She planted a few kisses to her daughter's face, some nuzzles to her cheeks, and tried to help her to her paws again; the toy she'd been handling lay discarded beside her and Ibis did not know the significance, she was too focused on her darling girl.
