last post for me as well!

Time was lost to the tiniest member of the new Ostrega quartet. She was unaware of how long she spent suckling on her father's toe, just as she was oblivious to the movements of the rest of her family in the den space she shared with them. The only thing Liyaní knew was that she was content; she felt safe, happy, and warm where she was, wherever that happened to be.

At some point the soot-furred girl fell asleep, her head resting atop Verrine's drool-coated paw.
