Clean Up Clean Up

Although Irilyth had been released from her bonds of servitude to Manea and Alastor, the golden blonde fae had spent so much of her life building these routines that breaking them seemed almost an impossible task. Besides, she was just helping out the wolves that sheltered her and provided her a home now out of the kindness of her own heart, right? At least that was the justification Irilyth was using to rationalize why she still felt compelled to maintain the cleanliness of the Mendaciums' familial den. The diminutive woman busied herself scurrying about the large cave den, having already cleaned the rooms of her alphas as well as the chambers of their children as well. Furs were washed and dried, remnants of snacks and scraps from crafting projects had been picked up and disposed of or stowed away, and all the odds and ends that naturally accumulated in a large family's home had been tidied up. She had even gone so far as to dust away some cobwebs and dirt from the floors of the tunnels and rooms.

Irilyth had just been moving into the main chamber of the den when a tiny voice from behind her caught her by surprise. She turned around and raspberry red eyes spotted the darling little Fiametta behind her, bushy tail wagging away with eager enthusiasm and a smile on her face. She was such a sweetheart, a far cry from her father whom she mirrored almost perfectly. "Oh! Hello, Princess Fiametta!" Iri greeted the pup back with a smile of her own, taking a look around what remained inside the den to do. "You're so sweet to offer, my dear! Well, there's still some chores that need to be done around the den. You could help me straighten up the common space. Or we could do some pruning around the herb gardens. What would you like to help with?" She let the girl decide what task sounded more engaging for her. Iri knew of Fia's inclination to the outdoors, and so she wanted to cater to her enjoyment as well. Chores did not always need to feel like hard work, after all!
