Rising Sun Valley The time has come

Inkeri had awoke before the edges of the sky began to change. She had hunted briefly, snaring a rabbit for her friend. She had been splitting her time between Ethan and Sanja. Sanja worse, so much worse than Ethan. But she had tried to honor all her commitments. She briefly thought of Ethan nursing Sanja's pups if she could no longer, but she had begun to wake.

At Ethan's first hiss, Ink was there in a moment. She stopped at the den mouth, speaking quietly, but loud enough to hear. She knew how anxious and aggressive new mothers could be.

::Ethan are you alright? What would you like me to do? What do you need from me? Me?
