Two Eyes Cenote Silence is a virtue so they say

Safiya had been living in quiet oblivion. She ate, she slept. In the darkness of minds eyes she dreamed. Beautiful beautiful dreams. But they were vibrations not sights. She had no pallette to pull from.

Until one day she opened her eyes and the light filtered in. She stared at her new surroundings shadowy and dark , without fear. An inner strength had begun in Fiya and she wouldn't let it peter out 

She lay looking at everything. The baby blue if her eyes brilliant in their wide eyed splendor. Eyes glanced on siblings, on mother. And then all the things around.

whereas safiya saw beautiful things, tiye sees ugly things. her head turned squarely at her siblings. and though she may be squinting, she glares at them.

a puny attempt at a growl scrunches her nose as shes left to look at the ugly, blurry mounds of her competitors. tiye whisks away, running to where she could get away now that she could see. babbling and growling all the while. mama, baba, come save me!

can be a cameo!

turning with a grunt from his post at the nursery's door, the at-duty father slipped back into the room and stopped short to see the new glimmer in their tiny faces.

a smile twitched his mouth. "be peaceful, tiye. there is more to be angry about in the world than those born alongside you."

Safiya watched with no judgement. But she saw the hasty retreat of a blurry pup like her and she added that insult to her mental map.  How dare she be treated this way. Blurry eyes went to the gisnt in the doorway and she stared at it with bright eyes not a trace of any fear or apprehension. She knew who it was faintly. This was father. Protector. But she feared nothing and noone.

the voice sent tremors across the floor. warm, and deep. baba.

tiye turns to khusobek, his tall figure cutting the light that watches over the nursery much like he does. however, he got too close, and tiye flops closer to attack his paw. 
how dare he say no, that these blobs aren't ugly and smelly and annoying. her fire raged on for less than a minute until quickly burning out (if it ever even started) and instead the fellahin finds a pillow on top of her father's rugged but gentle hand.

mama cameo <33

now was one of those times where inji took her shift of sleep. khusobek lovingly stood watch over their little nursery while the new mother stayed wrapped in her bedfurs, nestled with @Kheti at her breast.
in her dreams, she can still hear the muffled shouts of her babes and the soothing baritone of their father, and if one looked closely at her dozing form, they could see the soft thumping of her tail beneath the blankets.

cameo!

Although the proximity in which Kheti held his mother could be mistaken for affection, more often than not Inji's velcro son was simply the laziest of his siblings. However, that was not to say he did not love his mother, for it was shown in the way his mouth gently gummed her teats even when he was not hungry and his cries when he could not feel her warmth at his side.

Tucked neatly among the bed-furs, he was content to slumber until the gruff baritone of his father stirred him awake. And almost immediately he wished he was still asleep.

Slowly, he raised his head the best he could and squinted confused at his surroundings. Where before his nose would tell him where his family was their scents now came accompanied with a blurry blob. So bright! he wailed, burying his face in the soft furs of Inji's chest. With time, the boy would find himself tentatively exploring this new world, but for now, he roiled in discontent at his entirely new situation.

safiya defied him. tiye was cradled against his paw. inji glowed in new motherhood. kheti tucked closer to his mother.

all was beautiful. all was well.

khusobek's heart was light.

Safiya continued to watch the goings on qith wonder. They were blurry and hard to see. But it was new and she would embrace it quickly as she did all things.

She shifted and moved away a bit to get a closer look at anyone nearby. Nose wrinkling as she tried to grapple with her sight.
