Meet and greet of trouble

Just as she had the first time, Iolaire returned later in the day with a care package for Zee. A little something to relieve the pain of childbirth, some vitamin rich cubes of meat and a nice soothing skin of tea. No matter how waif-like and thin Iolaire felt, she would always be there for her family. Dipping into the den, Io skirted around those that came to congratulate the new litter. On silent paws she placed the care package within reach of the sleeping woman. Zee would know what to do with it.

Back outside, Iolaire took a place beside her brother. Careful not to step on the plethora of pups, the small woman lay on her stomach, paws curled inward like a cat. She was tired, but she was so very happy for them both. As others came and went, she stayed there, keeping Sirius company until it was time to take the little ones back inside.

(Feel free to skip Io. Lemme know if she's needed.)
