Arrow Lake when there's blood in the water

River's first breath was taken in protest; a shrill cry carried through the den, as the newborn reacted to the change in the climate. River had little time to embellish her compliant, as Ketzia was quick to intervene; in a matter of trices, her mood improved exponentially. River had been led to Ketzia's abdomen and had promptly taken advantage of the warmth and sustenance that had become avaible—she saw no need to lament further. 

Once River had nursed to capacity, she was content with her current situation. She curled up against her siblings and fell asleep, much happier now than she had been moments prior.
