Swiftcurrent Creek Here come the meat sweats

Yay, puppies! :)

Kaskara had only met them once, briefly, right after their birth. She hadn't lingered long, for Shadow had been there and it was truly he who needed to spend time with his children. Kaskara would see them grow and change every day if she wanted to, and she hadn't wanted to interfere with his visit. So that day she had glanced at them, given her congratulations, and sat back with her brother, surveying the scene.

Today, however, was different. Scimitar had visited them multiple times and had come back smitten with them. Kaskara grinned through her mouthful of rabbit at the thought, wondering if her brother and Bazi would ever reconcile and produce a brood of their own. It would be up to them in the end, but she hoped they could; they would be good for each other, once the stubborn streak had faded.

She approached the dens hared by Bazi and Paarthurnax and the young pups carefully, her eyes and ears alert for anything out of the ordinary. When she got closer, however, it became apparent that there was something going on here, and it wasn't a bad thing, either. Dropping her rabbit near the den's mouth, Kaskara grinned at the littlest one and settled down on her belly, chuffing softly in greeting.

Surely he had seen her coming, but whether or not he would want to come to her was a different matter entirely.
