The adjustment had not been easy on him, but he had managed to bury his emotions and to focus on caring for his mother. So much happened all at one time that it was difficult for the young boy to wrap his head around it, plus he now had to take over his father's position in providing for his mother. She was still healing from her attack and laid up with a swollen abdomen. She told him that soon he would have new brothers and sisters, which he could only assume they were currently living in her abdomen. How, the boy couldn't even begin to figure it out. His time lost from his parents had been precious time to learn what he needed for life, such as the good old birds and the bees talk, though in this particular situation he wouldn't have wanted to know his his unborn siblings were made.

He and Bones had spent most of their time hunting, providing as much food as they could for Marina. Though right now it was mostly small mammals with the winter in full bloom. Bones had been growling because he had really wanted to explore the pack lands, but Chasm wanted nothing to do with that right now. He needed to make sure his mom would be okay and he was more determined to do so since he had sensed her odd mood. She had done pretty well hiding it, but the young boy was still able to pick up on the little things such as her decrease in hunger. Though part of him wondered if his siblings were eating up her insides and leaving her no room for food.

He wasn't as much worried as he was confused because he didn't understand everything that was happening. His confusion did change to worry at times, but he had little time to focus on processing. He instead tried to push things aside and just worry about getting food. He tried to keep his focus on that so his mind wouldn't become overwhelmed.

The boys trudged back to the den and calmly slipped inside both having large hares in their mouths. Chasm set his by his mother and Bones simply sat his in an open spot in the den. The little Devil the disappeared heading out of the den. He was going to take this time to explore like he wanted to. Chasm flopped on the ground beside his mother with a heavy sigh before his bi colored eyes looked to her to see if she was eating.
