Sun Mote Copse it’s not too far now, one day we’re gonna dance on the sun

Nyssa relaxed, if only slightly. Njord and Meerkat were just as welcoming as ever. Encouraging, even. And the watchful Towhee, who she did not know...even she could not help but smile warmly towards her. 

Gingerly, on feather light paws, she squeezed partway in besides Seal. She knew the girl only by name, as a daughter from Meerkat and Njord's former litter. And again, she felt an almost natural sense of kinship, as she did with every wolf here in the Copse.

With her dark ears plastered so tight that they looked to be missing, she edged closer. In awe, her eyes lingered on each tiny, squirmy little body. A perfect boy and girl. Had she ever been so small?

"They are so cute! Those names...they're perfect for them!" She tried to keep her voice to a whisper, even in knowing the newborns were deaf. Her breath washed over them slightly as she spoke. She wanted to be close and watch over them, but that was not her job. 

Clearing her throat, she began to scoot back outside. "You must be exhausted. But I left you a rabbit by the den, for when you are hungry." She smiled at the new family. "Congratulations, you guys." After one last adoring look, Nyssa left to find a sunny spot nearby to rest.
