Family bonding! <3 @Kinusi @Tarkik @Alaric

Three days had passed since Elentari became a mother again, and Alaric, a father for the first time. In her eyes, he had always been a fatherly figure to Acrux and Maggak and all the other children of the Spear. But this time was different. Special.

He had a daughter all his own. His blood flowed in little Kinusi's veins. Elentari knew with all certainty, that Kinusi and Tarkik would want for nothing. Alaric had a wonderful track record if last year was proof of that. They would grow up well loved, protected, educated and entertained. 

It was early days yet. Elentari left the den only for very short periods of time, leaving her son and daughter under the watch of their father. Her belly was sore from Tarkik's rigorous gums. Her spine stiff, in need of a good stretch. She never complained, far too invested in the joys of motherhood. 

After a quick grab from a cache, she returned. The soft steps of her dark paws announcing her arrival. In her mouth, she clutched two fresh pelts. Just for her newborns. One russet, of a squirrel. The other, of a chipmunk. Tails still attached to serve as a pillow or a gnawing toy later. And they were the perfect size for the pups to grow into. 

She crooned lowly, sweetly as she swept in to be with them once more.
