One big, happy family

Tamsyn laid at the edge of the den where the sun that was filtering through the cloud cover could reach her, their pups sleeping soundly against her stomach. The crash of the waves was the perfect sound to lull them into a nap—not that it really took a lot to get them to go to sleep right now. In these early days following their birth they did little more than wiggle around, eat, and sleep, but she treasured every single second of it. She knew from experience that these days would go too fast and she'd blink and they'd be over. Malik started to stir with adorable little puppy squeaks and she smiled, shushing him gently as she dipped her head to give him a loving nuzzle, quieting him back down and tucking him back against his sisters to keep napping.

She looked out over the shore while she waited for Kane to return with the rest of her children. She wasn't sure how many of them would want to come meet their half siblings, but she knew that Artorias at least would want to see them so she figured she'd invite the whole family out to their little den on the shore. Briefly she considered just bringing the pups up to the castle instead, but as tiny as they were she didn't want to risk moving them around too much and she was quite enjoying this homey little den that Kane had prepared for their little family. Her ears perked when she heard the sound of paws moving across the sand and she peeked out of the den, spotting them heading toward her with a grin. She gave a wave of her paw when they got close, moving her paw to her muzzle with a quiet shush to make sure they weren't too loud before coming to greet their new family members.
