Ankyra Sound [m] but i do it for the kids

The fruits of her labors amounted to three pups, unbelievably small but perfectly formed. Guided perhaps by this unseen Marinette, Sobeille tended to each newborn, cleaning and drying them before nestling them against her teats. One of them—one of the two little girls—cried louder than the others, though her cries were not loud enough to rouse the new mother as she lapsed into what seemed an almost catatonic state.

Despite an increasingly urgent need to empty her bladder, Tiuttuk remained rooted to the spot beside Sobeille. She stared at the puppies, enamored with them. She didn’t want to take her eyes off them so long as Sobeille slept, though eventually she could no longer resist nature’s call. Besides, she wanted to get word to @Alaric who presumably remained posted at the grotto’s entrance.

It was much more important to convey, One of the girls screams when you touch her. As soon as Sobeille wakes, I’ll ask her if you can take a look. Stay close.

She shot him a grateful look, then ducked back inside the grotto. Tiuttuk didn’t take a breath until she saw that all three babes were still tucked safely beside their slumbering dam. Pie folded herself down beside the little family of four again, telling herself not to touch them until Sobeille had granted her express permission. But in the end, she was unable to resist the temptation to touch her lips to each tiny forehead.
