Ankyra Sound gatorwine

When Treepie returned to the grotto with a dead rat clenched in her teeth, she discovered that Sobeille wasn’t alone. She paused in the cavern’s mouth to listen to the women’s voices echoing off the stone walls, moving further inside. The tone of the conversation indicated one of Sobeille’s relatives. Pie hesitated, uncertain if she might be interrupting a reunion, but her curiosity was more compelling than her propriety.

Slipping in quietly, she set her kill in a small cache just inside the entrance to the innermost chamber. Her yellow eyes lit on the two feminine figures, though she didn’t move to interfere. She simply stationed herself by the wall, her eyes flicking between Sobeille, her companion and the little ones bundled on the entresol.

I hope you don’t mind a cameo! :)
