Amalia was thrown backward slightly when Atreus grasped her on either side of her head. She hadn't been ready for it. But she quickly locked her legs and curled her own fore paws around him. Making gentle shush noises in her throat. She heard the absolutely pain in his voice and felt her heart drop like a stone. Fearing the worst, but honestly unsure what even the worst could be.

You are not. She chided gentle. What happened? She rocked gently and was unsure what else to do, but she held ears forward waiting for an answer.
