Why Do You Care For Me

Viper couldn't read Chimera's mind, so while he may have had the thought that the dead pup resulted from her negligence, she didn't sense those feelings. She didn't even flinch as Aliana tended to the struggling pup, and went ahead with Siren's guidance as she did one final push for the rest of what was in her. It was afterwards that she was given her living son and only child, but still she didn't feel any strong, overpowering connection to him. She wouldn't give up hope on that though, she did believe that it would take time and interactions with him to feel any sort of attachment if any at all in the coming years. Though the physical mother instinct came naturally, letting the pup nuzzle her stomach and eventually nap after the tiring experience. Viper looked gently up to Chimera without a word, the tension they had between them still there but lifted at least in these current moments. She then flashed a look to Siren but didn't keep a long gaze with her, "Thank you." She stated quietly. Aliana wasn't here anymore but Viper held much more respect towards Siren than she did Aliana anyway.
