Courage Isn't The Absence Of Fear

Rava was usually in the palace because that was where she was most comfortable, tucked away in their cozy den with no one to bother her. She could ask one of the akitas for whatever she needed and there was usually a child around to be cuddled when she wanted them. Plague had been throwing himself into his pack duties and she admitted to herself that she missed him, something she didn’t think she was capable of. But he had become her rock, he’d saved her, he loved her… He gave her this incredible life and family.

Relaxed, Rava leaned back into the furs that made up the family bed. It was just about time for a nice nap, everyone was out of the den or lunch and she had the room to herself. A yawn parted her jaws and she settled down contentedly when the sound of tiny paws on stone caught her attention. Silvery eyes blinked open and watched the entrance before Seere stumbled through.

Her maw pulled back into a grin at the presence of the girl, the love of her life. She could only barely decipher what Seere said with the little bundle in her mouth, but it was easy enough to realize it was for her. ”Did you, sweet Seere?” Rava asked with a tilt of her head as she opened her arms for the pup to snuggle in against her mother’s chest.
