Ouroboros Spine tatamnaktuk ⨸

The whole scene made Alduin tense. He’s never been around anyone giving birth, but since Kukutux told him to run and grab Aiolos, he never went back in the den. One, he didn’t think he was welcome back, especially with the caramel brute hanging about it like that. And two, he doesn’t really want to be in there anyway. 

Rather he stays a fair distance away from everything. Allowing himself to be left alone and especially not going near the pacing alpha.

Until a soft looking woman appears. The prince only spares her a short glance before averting his eyes to look elsewhere out into the distance. Hunches in a borderline awkward sitting position, he frets when he sees her gaze land on his out of his peripheral. He pointedly turns his body a touch away from her, but she approaches anyhow. 

Then he almost jumps when a wet nose touches his shoulder. Slowly, he turns his large head towards her and finally — actually — looks at her. Her pelt is soft, plush, full of pale creams and chocolate paws. Matched with a pair of sweet looking emerald eyes Alduin can’t help but look into. He licks his chops with a deep purple tongue almost nervously, but the tone she speaks with offers him some solace. Her words are sweet and they offer him a distraction. One he gladly takes.

Standing up, he nods up to her, not daring to say a word for some reason. Only stepping close enough to her for his side to comfortably lean against her leg as a sign for them to go. He would wordlessly follow her to wherever she wants to take him.
