It was not at all unexpected to hear her husband's gentle tones signalling his arrival, but the scent that accompanied his own certainly took her by surprise. 'Epiphron, come and see who I've found..' he spoke, voice laced with affection. She was a lucky woman, and she did not forget that for even a second. Slowly she wriggled free from the grasp of her children, moving to push herself onto all fours slowly. Gently she offered a bark in response, though needed a moment to stretch her body and compose herself. There was no need to awaken her children, though if they happened to come to consciousness themselves there would be no use fighting it.

With a wary glance cast toward the sleeping children, who were now over three months old, she padded toward the den's entrance. Slowly she would peer from the depths of her safe haven, eyes dancing over her husband and finding Azalea. Immediately a smile lit up her features, blue eyes dancing with joy. Her niece had come to visit her! She hadn't seen her quite awhile now -- before she had even given birth. Over a season! "Azalea!" she exclaimed happily, slipping forward to embrace her gently, nuzzling into her neck. "It has been too long," she noted, pulling back and observing her niece. It seemed she had been small just months ago -- but she, too, felt sometimes like childhood had ended just yesterday. It was funny to stand here and see her niece as a woman, not just a child. She wondered how life had been treating her; how it was to deal with new siblings. "We have much to catch up on." With a grin she leaned back toward Maverick, nosing the side of his face tenderly.
