Sleepy Fox Hollow bestimmung

Wylla was still worn from the efforts of birth, but Ilse grew stronger with each passing day. She was nearly one month old now. Her eyes were open, her ears had begun to raise, and her milk teeth had come in.

The latter was a relief. At first, Ilse didn't understand that her mother was ill. This Wylla was the only Wylla she knew, and she had difficulty grasping why her mother could not muster up the same energy that her father could. Eventually, on some intuitive level she understood that drawing milk stole from her mother's reserves. She came to associate Mahler with food and eagerly ate any meat he was inclined to provide. She would likely wean early.

With both of her parents a constant presence, Ilse was quiet and well-mannered. She had no mischevious bone in her body, and did not like to test her parents. She had never experienced their admonishment and even the abstract thought of it broke her heart.

She approached her father but didn't pass him, settling instead near his hocks until she was invited further.
