Erani watched her young charge?s reaction with a gentle sadness. So much confusion of the heart wasn?t right for a girl her age. The Healer leaned forward, placing a gentle lick on her forehead. ?I know it?s hard.? As Chrysanthe touched her nose to Erani?s side, the sensitive life did indeed move. The whole litter went into a series of rolling and wriggling and kicking. A soft chuckle followed Chrysanthe?s remark. ?Ohhh yes. They are that. One will twitch, and then the entire lot will start up. It usually happens every ten to thirty minutes. I can?t know for sure until they?re born, but I think there?s five in there.? She felt a slight sense of unease coming from Chrysanthe, the sixth sense tingling. She gazed at the dark faced young female. Into the blue eyes. Blue like her father, but shaped like her mother?s. ?Chrysanthe. You will always be like my own child. You, Epiphron, Eos, Preston, Neo, Syrinx? ?When your father placed you all in my care, at that time, I believed myself to be barren. I thought that I would never have the chance to have my own litter. You were as close to having my own pups as I could have gotten. You will always be in my heart. All of you, no matter what happens. You can never be replaced. If you were to die, the part of my heart that you are in would die with you. The same goes for the rest. Even Neo. "Do you understand? I will always love you and your siblings as I will my own. And I would be honored if you would be a sister to this litter.? A soft, serious smile was upon her muzzle. |
