Noctisardor Bypass a pelican leaps from chair to chair

As irked as she’d felt with him during her labor—particularly considering his treatment of Etienne—Druid knew it wasn’t right to keep @Glaukos from his children. After selfishly keeping them to herself for the first day, she stepped out first thing the next morning to relieve herself, a wholly unpleasant business now. She distracted herself by calling for the bearish man.

Then she slipped back inside the den, where @Heda kept the newborns warm. Druid settled herself down beside @Kikimora, @Goldfinch, @Artio and @Averie, nuzzling each small head. Her deeper feelings toward them were complicated, though she let her instincts guide her just like she guided the pups to latch, feed and grow strong.
