Ouroboros Spine Those lights

hopefully, adrastus may forgive shikoba for her quick and sharp behavior later once he settles back in to see löté. but perhaps no one could blame the native for wanting to protect her home and all of its inhabitants. it is a responsibility she takes upon her own shoulders to guard all of moonglow. the newest additions to their family makes the native woman even more protective of those who dare to step foot into the village.

kukutux's last words drift through the warrior woman's ears and she slows her pace only for a moment to call back for all of the members of this pack. 

"he returns with shikoba to see löté." 

hopefully, the duck and her own kin may feel at peace to know that this man is not alone as he travels through to see his vulnerable wife. speaking of which, his question about her current state causes a nod from shikoba towards him. "pain first, like all births. tried to wait." she tosses a gaze towards the tundra man, wondering if he is to blame for her restrictive actions. 

"but pups came, 3. löté cares for them." this man ought to thank every single lucky star he has, for all of them poured into him all of their power to allow him reentry home. shikoba, thankfully with all of her patrolling, is able to take adrastus through a shorter path until the dens grew in their line of sight. she would continue until her pace slows as she draws closer and closer to the entrance of the gamma's den. 

and when they would reach it, she would motion for him to enter. shikoba would stand outside for a moment, to ensure everything would end well. if adrastus and löté mend their broken hearts together, then shikoba would leave the couple alone to settle and mourn over the lost time together.
