As persistent as this budding life was, a quite literal internal nudge constantly pulling her towards a new future, Lore had not prepared themselves for such fate.
This wasn’t to say there was no lack of effort. They had chosen a spot further out from a hustle and bustle they’d yet to truly see. They’d hastily prepared a nursing den in an almost mindless fashion. Guided only by instinct and whispers from ghosts who, in these moments, she’d long to be in the presence again.
A robotic state of mind readied her, yes, but it had not prepared her. Perhaps, no, surely if faces from the past were with her now this stepping stone would feel easier to cross.
Star was what remained of what once was. They cried for him early in the mourning, throughout the day. Through the pain that ripped through her as evening came.
“@Star…” Their voice reduced to nothing more than a whisper come late that night. Weary eyes looked to the entrance of the cramped burrow, then slowly to the tiny, crying babe at their side.
