@Miwa and @Naoyuki if you want a lowkey sick momma thread <3

Something had been off since the birth. The strength in her limbs and the alertness with which she woke every day was lessened, she felt more exhausted by the end of each day. She'd begun to heave up meals which was concerning as she was still nursing though it was comforting to know that they'd be eating chewed meat slowly soon enough. @Takara...she was going above and beyond to take care of all of them while she was recovering and Minori had admittedly been pushing herself, trips to the mainland and that incident with their captive had done nothing for her health. That day was no different as she nudged her children with her nose, tired eyes holding a faint sparkle for them as she tried to get them to stand and use their legs to take the first few steps toward the mouth of the den before carrying them if need be into the sunlight. 

minori’s nudge roused naoyuki from his sleep with an irritated grumble. he stood up and stretched his limbs, blinking his eyes to rid them of any crust, then began to feel for her legs.

yuki fixed himself between her forelimbs, prepared to follow his minori’s guidance. hm.., he mused quietly.

Cameo post

She had been so worried, the sickness that seemed to be inflicting ehr wife was nothing she could help with so she had to resort to employing those in the pack of mermaids and sirens that could do more than she. She hadted being powerless, her thoughts stattered from the remedies that the tiny pupsiter had given her. SHe thought of the instructions as she left the opening of her seaglass accented home, she would try what Daiyu had told her. She would find her wife's favorit fish and place herbs that woudl help her keep it down inside, they could beat this. This was just a minor hicup in their path to happiness.

She had been tossing and turning before her night colored mother aroused her from her slumber, something about catching a running flower or something ridiculous like that but it was not something she could remember. Instead she gave arather big stretch ad her nose graced along her similar colored body, a quiet yawn escaping without thought. infant blue eyes blinked then blinked again as light streamed from the colorfully patched holes in their home, her focus finally landing on both her larger brother and her unwell mother. 

A soft sound come from her that could nto be mistaken as words, her legs finally getting under her after a few uncoordinated tries. Her brother had taken the location she wanted but she gave a soft sneezing like sound and simply moved to be beside her night mother, her gaxe looking up with a head tilt of confusion.

What were we doing today?

Naoyuki placed himself between her forelegs as she'd grown accustomed to and she lowered her head to touch her nose affectionately to his head before Miwa's gentle voice grabbed her attention and she gave the girl a bright smile ears perking as she too got a gentle nuzzle. "we will be going to the ocean today. I'd like to find your Mom a present" she thought of the beautiful soft brown furred songstress always out trying to bring her food that got tossed back up onto the sand from her stomach. It was dangerous that she couldn't eat..her children needed the nutrition of her milk which she'd stop producing without nutrients of her own. 

minori’s explanation was largely unintelligible, but naoyuki didn’t mind. he wished that she would continue speaking, so that he could feel the slight vibration of her chest, and know that she was there with him.

any steps that his mother took, he would take with her, keeping their pace largely synced until they reached their destination.
