When the scent of a bitch in heat flooded Diaspora territory some weeks earlier, Nyx chose to withdraw. She kept mostly to herself since, keen to avoid any and all interaction with Mahler and whoever he intended to court.
Her own time had not come, and she didn't expect it to. In the previous years her cycle had begun at the heart of the season, and the only one she'd participated in had yielded a Summertime litter. A creature of habit, Nyx expected to have weeks of quiet until her own turn with Mahler came around.
She couldn't deny her anxiety of it all: fearful of a violent reaction following the birth, there was a strong possibility that she could be evicted from her home (again). There was so much to lose that at times, she wondered if a second and more prepared attempt at motherhood was a foolish idea.
Nyx roamed the hollow in search of prey, nose to the ground where she sniffed almost frantically as she picked up on something worth following.
