Qeya River i'm a million dollar baby

can just be a cameo <3

the riverbabes grew, and along with it came a new form of fondness for them. they were truly little people now, little people with their mamá's big brain and their ma's big heart; little people with plump faces and sharp teeth, and with laughter that wormed into the soul and made a home in one's memory.
wren lays just outside their wooded nursery, limbs stretched out into the sun while a tuft of grass formed her pillow. she turns to speak to ksura as he approaches, hardly managing to get out an oh, thank you before she is distracted by loud yips and the thud of tiny, unsteady paws. oh, tenacious sparrow!
go easy on 'em, sweetheart, she calls to her boy. you're gonna haf'ta learn your own strength one day.
