All For You

*Caelum* · 01-10-2018, 05:22 PM

Having slept for quite some time after they were brought to the den Brandr cleared out for them, Caelum was beginning to feel a bit better, though sleep continued to pull her back into it's embrace whenever she stirred. It had been a long journey for her, more than she ought to be tackling but the woman was just happy she'd made it here safely with her daughter even if she was rather upset that she couldn't get Zephyr before they ran. When she woke during the night she'd gently nuzzled their child who was pressed close to her side. The girl was starting to grow fast, and Cae wondered if she'd someday be as tall as Zephyr. Later it was early morning when the woman sat up sleepily, looking around in confusion for a moment before she recalled where she was and settled back down. Her heart beat faster when she realized that Caelestis wasn't at her side, but her scent was still rather fresh so she assumed her daughter wasn't too far off and she was so tired that she simply drifted off again.

When at last she was ready to get up, Caelum pulled herself into a sitting position and yawned, stretching languidly and letting her muscles warm up a bit and realize it was time to get moving. Every now and then she got to feeling rather old, but luckily after some stretching and time spent letting her brain wake up she felt pretty good. Tired, yes, but still not ancient and arthritic which she was pleased by. Hearing her daughter's voice ring out somewhere outside, the woman smiled warmly and rose to trot out into the lovely golden dawn that greeted her at the entrance. Pale blue eyes squinted as she let them adjust to the light of day, reaching down to nuzzle her daughter's dark little head and plant a warm kiss between her ears.

Taking a seat, Caelum cooed, "Good morning, my dear." The child bounced at her paws and turned to look expectantly the way she'd come. As Caelum turned to see what the girl was looking for, she saw the wolves who followed the girl and brightened instantly, rushing towards Zephyr and burying her face in his neck fur. "Zeph, I'm so glad you're here!" she gushed, holding herself close to him for a bit. It hadn't really hit her how worried she was for him until she saw his face again. The woman didn't think she could handle even thinking about what she'd do if she lost him again. It was unthinkable, painful to consider for even a second, forcing Cae to take a few deep breaths before she completely lost her composure. When at last she pulled back, Caelum smiled and nodded to Sparrow in greeting, still unable to get any more words out. Glancing at Caelestis briefly, she wondered if she ought to send the child to the den while they discussed things. Surely Sparrow would want to get some information out of Zeph, and Caelum also wanted to know more of what happened to him during the attack. This might not be a conversation fit for children's ears, and Caelum didn't want to focus on gauging how her child was handling things as she tried to pull information out of her mate and get him to behave at the same time.

"Caelestis, darling, I need you to go to the den for a bit," she said, giving the girl a sharp look as a look crossed the girl's face that said she was about to argue. Caelestis pouted, scowling as she scurried over to her father so she could snuggle into his fur once more and seek out some sympathy before she trudged slowly off to the den, looking mournfully over her shoulder before disappearing into the darkness, out of view. Caelum shook her head before turning to the other adults and asking, "Zeph, what happened?"
