Backdated before the hunt!
the morning was soft as down, mist drifting low across the glen like breath held close to the earth. ippiksaut moved through it with quiet purpose, a bundle of herbs clutched gently between her jaws. willowbark, dried chamomile, crushed sea-lavender β all wrapped in a strip of softened hide. strong medicine for a woman carrying life so near to breaking open.the path to raindropβs den wound beneath leaning spruce and frost-bitten grass. she followed it unhurried, ears tuned for the faintest sound β a sigh, a shift of weight, the soft murmur of a mother speaking to pups still tucked beneath her ribs.
when she reached the hollow, she paused. the den mouth was warm with scent: milk rising, swelling belly, the trembling edge of soon-to-come birth.
@Raindrop,she called softly, setting the herbs at her feet.
i come with gifts for your strength.
she stepped inside only as far as courtesy allowed. her mismatched eyes softened in the dim.
