Learn to Love
There was a lot of things happening around Fiori that, luckily, she knew of. Having all the good news piled onto her would have knocked her over and paralyzed with excitement. Let's see...Amalia and Athena recently had their two little girls, Jayne and Diana. She had yet to see them, but eventually she wanted to privately ask either Athena or Amalia. Preferably both if they were around. Tiburtius seemed quite thrilled to have younger sisters as he's told her a bit about them, but she wanted to see them and love them for herself. Besides, she loved pups to death! Hopefully they liked her. She wasn't very colorful or big or snuggly...but she'd definitely try her best to make herself lovable. Leo and Svetlana had gotten married which was also pretty thrilling! Leo and Svetlana were both friends of hers and just seeing Leo with someone to love made her heart flutter with joy for him. Hopefully she'd get to babysit their future pups. So many puppies to love on...ee! She was excited for them all! Plus, she finally reached Tiburtius, and they now slept in the same den together. And yeesh was it crowded. She needed to work on digging more room for the two of them before he rolled right on top of her at night. The thought made Arivae smile as she slithered her way out of Tiburtius' loving embrace. He was asleep and she didn't want to wake him up, but escaping his warm hug was pretty hard. This time she was lucky. She stretched outside the den and yawned, enjoying the warmth of sun despite the snow that bit at her paws like angry pythons. She sniffed. It was pretty cold even with the sun and she instantly wanted to curl back up with Tiburtius...but Amalia had called her. She didn't want to dismiss her like a dead autumn leaf. Arivae sighed and leaned into the den, kissing her big blue buddy on the head. "I'll be back." She whispered, before turning and setting off toward the small red-headed woman. She slowed to a trot as Amalia came into view, sitting in front of a den that had a heavy herbal smell to it. Must be her medical den or whatever. But why did she call her here? Arivae smiled and stopped a few feet from her, letting her rump drop to the snow and her tail wave aimlessly behind her. "Hi there, Amalia." The dark girl said with a friendly grin, her blue eyes shining with interest. "It's nice to see you. How are the girls?" She asked, tipping her head to the side curiously. Even though Tiburtius kept her updated, she wanted to hear from one of the mothers. They knew their children best, after all. |
