Hideaway Strath A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Kyn is worried as he watches Simmik struggle with another puppy, their last boy. He watches her push valiantly, desperately trying her best to deliver all of the pups safely and efficiently despite her bone deep tiredness. When she’s cleaning the last pup, Kyn wants to do it for her if just to lesson her responsibilities. Yet, unsure if she’d appreciate it, he settles closer to her and nuzzles her affectionately. The purest of emotion in his golden eyes as he watches her. He’s silently telling her how much he loves her, how good she’s doing at delivering their children.

When finally he looks down to his third-born, he notices the curly tail and the brown spot just so like his brother. They’re all so big and healthy and Ky can help but preen at how well they look.

It’s at this point that he suspects it’s over; until it’s not. Simmik raises her upper half before collapsing. Ky stands up from his sitting position in pure worry as she’s struggling to birth what appears to be another one. This time though there’s something wrong, so, so wrong. His eyes flick around near her rear and widen at the amount of blood he finds pooling at her pale hocks. 

Another pup falls. This one is motionless.

Kyn approaches haphazardly, nosing the last one and rolling it about to help it get that first breath in and out. Even lapping a dark tongue at its lifeless body. He shares one horrid glance with Simmik as it seems she has passed out, exhausted from the strain of childbirth. 

Then he’s shaken from his thoughts when Nyra is popping her head through the den asking is she’s okay. He meets her gaze and one could tell he’s absolutely stunted on what to say. “I’m...not sure.” He hums looking down at Simmik and then immediately looking for one of their medics. Only to be thankfully greeted by Veins face. 

He’s never been so happy to see his face before and he tilts his ears towards him like saucers to listen to his instructions. He nods once at his comment to remove the pup and Vein is running off in a rush. Kyn does exactly as he’s told, grabbing the pup in his jaws and moving it away from the rest of the scene. He would consume her later. As per family tradition of the Saints. 

Then the man in white is running back and setting down a few things. Which Kyn easily listens to what he’s being ordered to do and does just that. It’s difficult to get the right amount in, but he’s able to do it. He will do it as long as he needs to make sure Simmik will pull through. He doesn’t know the seriousness of the situation, due to him being completely blind considering childbirth, but judging by his pack mates reactions it’s not too good. So he drops the droplets into her mouth and awaits her to wake up. He knows she will, she’s strong after all. So, very strong.
