"Stupid snow storm..." she grumbled, looking back over her shoulder at the steadily falling snow. She had been on her way back to the Red Forest when the snow suddenly began to fall and quickly picked up into a blizzard of sorts. One of the hazards of living in the north, she supposed. Luckily she had come across this cave in the mountain side to wait it out in. Not really any colder, but it was an improvement upon being out in the thick of the snow. She sighed and turned her gaze back toward the inside of the cave, peering into the darkness. She padded forward slowly, her paw steps quiet against the stone floor. Her cold amethyst gaze looked up at the walls around her, eyes tracing the lines and shapes that seemed to cover the cave walls. They all looked very old and she couldn't figure out what they were or who would have made them. She didn't dwell on the mystery for very long. She had too many things going on in her present to worry about things from the past.

She found a dip in the ground off to the side of the cave lined with dried grasses. It looked like someone might have used this cave for a den at some point, but with a curious sniff she could tell that any scent from the former owner had long since died away. Taking advantage of her find, she lowered herself to the ground, settling onto her side and pulling her legs up against her as she curled up in the makeshift bed, trying to get comfortable despite he growing stomach. She was just a few days shy to the halfway point in her pregnancy and it showed in her stretched frame. A sigh passed her lips and she curled her head around to rest on her forepaws. Her body formed a ball of thick white fur, a bright spot in the middle of this shadowy cave.

"Speech."
