It was positively adorable watching her children express their delight in finally being outside the den. It was a small victory for them, but a huge leap for Mercianne. She knew what the outside world was like, had lived in it herself and known the dangers, the injustices, the trials that each of them would eventually need to face. She had felt like a prisoner before, been abused because of her lack of strength, and singled out as unworthy. All of this was why she had felt so excited to find the Snow Rogues when she had. They allowed for a complete turn around in her life, and she hoped they would help provide the same for her pups now that she had them to look after too.
Her smiling expression was turned upon Clover and Emery just outside the den, listening as they encouraged the rest to follow suit and head out with them. Still she did not move to further push the pups outside, mindful of Cloud still snuggled against her side. But it seemed the youngsters were still eager to include her anyway, whether she intended to join them or not. Emery was the first, padding away and then returning to the den carrying a lovely orange bloom in his jaws, dirtied roots still clinging to the stem. His praise and compliments were answered with a warm smile, her muzzle reaching out to brush gently against the side of his face before adding a tender lick there. "Thank you, sweetheart. It is very pretty," she responded agreeably, a swift glance being given to Clover alone outside. Merci's eyes watched those inside the den again, certain now that they had seen the flower from outside that many of them would be sure to head out soon.
