Moonspear what will tomorrow bring

The runty female who continually slipped behind even the other small one in growth milestones kept catching her attention, and not usually in a good way. In many ways, she was.. off. The mother observed with a careful, guarded scrutiny was the small babe struggled with a paw that wasn't right, and her ears slicked back instantly to the sound of her cries. Amekaze had watched all of her siblings grow and begin to build their foundations bit by bit. However, that one simply seemed to lack, even now that they were almost a full moon in.

And accordingly, after having them nurse on her and need so much of her attention and energy devoted only to them for just as long, her patience was wanting to run awfully thin some days. The lighter sisters were at attention now too, and their brother snoozed in the spot behind her armpit. "Shh," she warned after a low, quiet bubble of a growl, and reached over the other puppies to nose Ran's head gently. Not interested in consoling the girl in any sort of length right now when the solution to her issues was suspect enough, Ame gave her a few sort licks before withdrawing to watch again to see what may be the matter -- besides the obvious something isn't quite all the way there.
