Stone Circle Homesick

She seemed to have forgotten all about whatever it was that she was going to ask of him, and her features went pale and almost fearful. Her eyes glistened, and she seemed upset that he had offered to allow Tauris and Figment to share Tréheim without him. He nosed her cheek, his tail thumping softly against the ground, hoping he could cheer her up. 

"You keep Skáld," he reassured her, a light tremble of polite, endearing laughter in his high voice. "I make den, just outside," He wouldn't be far- only a stone's throw away, but...Far enough still that he could have his space, and they could have theirs. Allowing Figment to fill the space as the father figure, he felt, was important, and it would also save him from seeing the way that Figment and Tauris would inevitably look at each other, until he was ready to see it. 

He nudged her chin. "Can be spot for Tauris to nap, too. Any time." He offered with a light smile. While he didn't want to suggest that she would need a vacation from her babies, he felt that having a private nap spot might be valuable as well- a room next-door where she could be up and present in an instant, but also a space to go whenever she needed a moment to be a Mom who needed to recharge.
