Ochre's grin was infectious when he insisted that everything would be fine as long as they were together. That was the truth of it. Even if things didn't turn out as she hoped, she would still have him and their girls. As long as she had them she would be happy. She had never really understood how her mother could put everything on the line for her children, but now she understood. Having her own family had drastically changed her life and how she saw things, but all of these changes were only in good ways. Now she just needed her family to live somewhere that they would be safe and be able to continue learning and growing... Then perhaps she could relax a bit more. She nodded in agreement when he pointed out that their daughters had seemed excited about the adventure she had initiated. Her two-toned gaze turned back toward where they had disappeared further into the estuary and she smiled a little. Neither of them seemed to show that anxiety and worry that lingered on her mind and for that she was grateful. They were both growing into such lovely women that had such an eagerness to learn. As if mirroring her thoughts, he commented on how their potential new pack needed to know how to handle their family of scholars and she giggled softly, replying, "Oh I'm sure they will... What pack doesn't want a family that's already so well versed in so many things?" She hummed contently and let her eyes close when he started grooming the fur along her scruff, smiling as she just let herself enjoy the attention. She didn't let herself relax all that often, but when she did it was almost always because of Ochre. After a few long moments of just letting herself sit quietly to enjoy his touch and the sounds of the birds in the trees around them, she opened her eyes a bit and lifted her nose till she could place a few gentle licks along his muzzle and cheek. |
