Want to play doctor?

Life was finally returning to normal, the sun returned to give them real day and night. Her children were released from their cells and by now they were recovering and catching up to the expected milestones. Siren was hardly able to believe that they were already half a year old. It felt like just yesterday she was struggling through their birth. Or she was praying outside of their cages that they would make it through to the next day. She worried for so long that she would lose her sweet children that she had worked so hard to birth and raise. As she told Chimera, she didn’t want to go through the process again. These were her only chance and the two of them were so important. Not to mention their true sire had been a river god. What kind of ire would she call upon herself if she allowed harm to come to them.

That relief that they made it through the illness had their mother floating on air. Despite the balmy feelings Siren still kept a sharp eye. On her two, Cerberus, Rue… Aliana’s hadn’t quite left their mother’s side but Siren was ready to help keep her eye on the massive litter as well. That didn’t mean that she didn’t keep her eye on the adult wolves she loved. Dalila had been a little slower the last few days, and now she remained in their bed, curled up and aching. Siren kept herself close to their chambers in case Dal needed her help, and when she heard her name called she was swift to answer her dearheart.

She raced through the door and her jaw dropped as dual toned eyes found Dal’s blood soaked features. Rivulets dripped down her mottled fur and at first Siren didn’t see the crystals emerging from her crown. "Dal, oh my goodness.” She spoke softly as she went for some rags to help clean her lover up. She lowered herself to the queen’s side and began to dab at the blood, revealing the opaque crystals. "Are you alright?” She whispered worriedly.
