Verdigris Ravine [M] Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Ko'a had been blissfully unaware of Towhee's explosive mess she had left in the home of Tribe. She had been too busy dragging her latest catch back to the birthing den of Candle. A large rattle snake, fat with some kind of dinner which only meant capturing two birds with one stone! 

Yet many things caught her in her tracks: Zoug's call of a visitor, the scent of something quite awfully foul, as well as the scent of birth which filled the air again. Ko'a, with still the snake in her grasp, followed her way to Candle and her pups of four. She would settle the snake down at the den mouth, peering within to woof a quiet greeting to the woman. 

It is cousin's turn now. She whispers, to not disturb the puppies and then sets off after her kin. Now she pokes her head into the birthing quarters of her cousin, sniffing the hare left by Zoug and scooting it closer. Is cousin well? Does this one need bring anything?
