--MOONS OF JUPITER--

Her decision seemed to go uncontested and the new mother exhaled with relief, nodding, leathery lips of inky hues turning upwards and a chuckle rumbling fondly from her larynx. A deep breath cycled through her form as the father of her children rose, preparing herself to rise. After a moment she tested the steadiness of her paws, leaning against the side of the den heavily before she found lingering strength. Taking her weight from her support, she moved slowly and with great care, not wanting to stumble over her pups should she fall. Just as she was about to cross around them, Mercury came sidling back into the den, echoed by an alerting growl from the guest she'd nearly forgotten that she'd invited. The lady came forth and into the light of mid-morning, squinting for a moment so she could focus on the king of Seracia properly. Her head twitched minutely downward, the woman afraid that she couldn't manage much else in her state.

Hesitation halted her and she glanced about, ears tipping back. "I appreciate you coming, and I'd love to catch up, but I called you here for the same reason that I'm calling the pack to a meeting now." Untrusting of the strength of her limbs, Jupiter took a few steps away from the den and settled securely onto her haunches.



"Pardon me for a moment," was the only warning she gave before her muzzle raised and she released a howl to summon the members of Ludicael to a meeting.
