Welcome to This Crazy Life

He stood outside the den beside his father, the gentle shower falling down on his grey pelt, beginning to wet him. If he stayed out here long enough, he would get soaked to the bone, just like that night with Meili after his grandfather's passing. But he didn't care too much. It was his mother who he was waiting for. If he had to stay out here all night to wait for her to give birth to his new siblings, then he would; it would be worth the wait.


The white woman Erani emerged from the den not long after his father had arrived, approaching the duo as she announced that they were two healthy girls and that his mother was sleeping. Sisters. What did they look like? What were their names? So many questions were running through his head but the yearling knew better. In this moment there was no time for curious questioning, his father's call to hunt shooing away his insistent questions. But before the young Adravendi could go off with his father, two more figures appeared. The first to arrive was his aunt Chrysanthe. He could see the beaming smile that curled her clay lips as she approached, mindful to keep her voice low as she congratulated them about his new siblings. His own small smile curled his kissers as he beamed back at his aunt, readying himself once again to head off to gather more food but again he was stopped by the appearance of his sister Aza as she asked if it was their mother and if she'd given birth. He padded up to her side, nuzzling her affectionately as he abandoned his father's side. Yes Aza, mom just gave birth. We have two new baby sisters. He whispered happily, his own plume wagging to the same rhythm as his sister's.
