Checkup

It didn't take long for someone to find her and that someone just happened to be one of the canines that she came to see. "Hey, Luce." Io grinned. "I found some time and decided to come and see how you lot were faring." And then the herd of puppies was running at her. Bloody hell, were they ever adorable! One of them made a beeline for her and, tripping, landed in a pile at her paws. "Oh, no." Iolaire slid to lay upon her stomach. Using her paws, she righted the fallen pup, lightly dusting the sand from his pelt.

Green-gold eyes lighted upon each tiny form and she couldn't stop herself from grinning. "Gods, Luce... they're lovely." Io then lowered her head a bit, getting on a similar level with the small collie mixes. "Hello, darlings. I'm Io. What are your names?" Dark ears flicked forward as she waited to learn what each pup was called.

Bourbon arrived, dripping wet. They all were wet, actually. The collie greeted her and asked if she came to see the pups and Io nodded. "I came to see all of you, and I must say, the pair of you make some very handsome children." What was this weird feeling that she had? Iolaire had never had an urge to be a mother. Not one bit. Now, all of a sudden... she regretted not being able to have a litter with Roan. The thought made her quite sad.
