Dragoncrest Cliffs watch those words rise with a smoke

Thuringwethil huffs a breath of air in place of a laugh. She doesn’t think Wildfire will actually have ten, and likely Tirgatao doesn’t either, but the way her mate spoke of things… she wouldn’t be surprised if she felt that way. The only thing she really hopes for is that she is blessed with more than one child, living or not, to spare the pain of more things than she can come up with in the moment.

When Tirgatao moves on about the fate of their land, she nods her head. They are not guaranteed the next day and her position is often dangerous. Near their former home further up the coast, their lives were often at risk, but the Teekon has proven quiet once she’d settled her roots in.

“If that is not the topic you want to speak about now, what is?” she asks with a slight tilt of her head, curious if something rested on the advisor’s mind. It gave her a distraction from her own stress hanging out in the back of her mind.
