no mother, no sisters, no brother, no father for longer now, it felt, than she had ever had them in her life. but she had no forgotten them, not forgotten her love for them. neither could she forget, though, her people—who protected her, loved her, elevated her to a place she had not dreamt to be in herself. her people, who she loved in turn and would do anything for! 
she had need to rest in Muat-riya. it was recommended that she take some days to rest, to do nothing but be pampered and indulged. Toula was easily convinced, if only because this particular part of growing Akashingo’s cubs was exhausting! but she convinced her husband, too, to join her—@Rashepses, my love! it will only be just the two of us for a little while longer, might we steal away for a few days? (a babymoon!)—and so, assenting and preparing, another fellahin made the short journey to inform Muat-riya and its residents to prepare. 
and at last they arrived, songs and cheers heralding their presence. Toula felt giddy, and her eyes sought out one of her dearest friends.
