Snowforest Taiga [feast] dandelion wishes

they stammer, searching for an answer to satisfy the question of the warrior woman before settling on something that does not come across as truthful. shikoba wonders if her children would be special like inkaloré, or perhaps have the same mannerisms. but the thought is pushed away as she offers the child a side smile and a soft bump of her nose to their shoulder.

"if not hungry, then why stare?" she asks him gently. shikoba does not exactly feel the need to force out the truest answer from them, but talking is always better than nothing. besides, with shikoba feeling a bit more protective of loté after the situation with adrastus, she feels just as protective of her first litter. "shikoba just wants inkaloré to eat if hungry. need meat to grow strong."

kids who don't eat complain about it later, so shikoba would rather avoid that possible situation if it comes up. while nothing goes to waste within Moonglow, she would rather ink eat something fresh rather than something dried and stored away for months. cache food and dried meats can only satisfy the tongue for so long.
