took our love and filled it up with novocaine [agria]

Two toned gaze watched mutely as the dappled light spread across the den floor. After a few minutes of warming the amethyst fur of their lover's belly, a frown creased her delicate features. Still sound asleep, she grunted and groaned until her body turned away from the heat. A bemused grin upturned the corners of their dark maw. She was such a strange and wonderful creature, their little pixie. They allowed her to push and shove until she was comfortable, wriggling up against the back of the den. The cool dirt pressed against their spine, but Kaine didn't mind. Anything for their little pixie- at least right now. They owed it to her, for forcing her into the horrors of child rearing.

Ashen limbs spread wide in a phantom embrace, Agria rested once more. The soft rub of her skull against the dirt floor only made their grin wider. Oh how Kaine loved her. Worming their forelimb beneath her neck, they allowed their chest to pillow her cheek and cradle her there. It would be more comfortable than the floor, until they could bargain with some of their kin for a few pelts. Gazing down at her, Kaine was oh so wrapped up in their affection for her. Scooting their body back up to flank her side, they hummed softly.

Crown would lower carefully, resting only partly upon her belly. The unborn pups within were just as soundly asleep as their mother. If they strained their ears, pressing one against her skin, they could make out the faint stirrings of the pups. Realigning their skull so that their chin rested lightly on her belly, they closed their eyes again. The strain of holding part of their weight off of her was worth it. She remained asleep and unaware of their doting.

Oh so softly, they crooned to the pups. Under their breath, allowing the vibrations of their chords to convey the sound through her belly.
