Carried away by a moon shadow

the birds, they got help from below, from dirty paws and the creatures of snow

Ocena tilted her head as her daughter began to speak, seeming hesitant, and perhaps worried that Ocena would be angry. But the female cared little about what her children did, as long as they were safe. She would always keep an eye on them, of course, but she didn't believe in keeping a tight leash on her children. It was the only surefire way to obtain rebellion, her mother had always said. And it had been somewhat true, in the end. Ocena had left her pack due to the fact that they kept her from doing anything, and it had been the best thing to ever happen to her. After all, she would have never met Gargoyle if she hadn't left her home, and she wouldn't have had two darling litters of children.

Leaning down to nose Oracle lightly as her daughter came closer, Ocena smiled fondly at the female who was colored so similarly to her father. "They're crabs, darling." Ocena answered Oracle's question with a smile, glancing down at the scuttling creatures thoughtfully. "They don't eat wolves, but they do have a nasty pinch." Ocena gestured at the creatures with a paw, "If they feel nervous, they'll lash out with their strange front paws and that tends to hurt." She had learned that during their early days on this beach. It had only taken one quick pinch for Ocena to largely leave them alone, content to respect their space and observe them from a distance.

Settling back daintily on her haunches, Ocena wagged her tail against the loosely packed sand, "They're harmless as long as you leave them alone." And amusing, too. She loved watching the senseless movements of the strange little crabs.
