Bearclaw Valley calm and collected, she keeps her composure

it was another chilly overcast day but within reigi, spring was coming.  soon, her children would be born.  soon, the wilds would be swathed in glorious pastels.  soon, soon, soon.

she just had to keep biding her time.

somehow, she had understood the implications of her last exchange with her mate.  something had changed inside of her (boy, weren't a lot of things changing within her?) and she carried herself with more confidence than before.  the collar that had otherized her was gone, and now she was sure she could count on alexander to care for the life that stirred within her.

she started upon the borders as soon as she woke, tending to them carefully as she did each and every morning.  at this point it was less of a sense of duty and more of a routine but she continued anyway, dousing the borders with her scent.
