idle little paws

"Do I?" Eden's face split into an amused but kind grin. She raised a paw to sniff at her ankle, finding herself smelling like usual. The scent of puppies, of course, replaced her pregnant scent. "do I smell good" she asked the boy "or do I smell... yucky?" She lowered her paw back to the earth. Perhaps she should take a dip in the pool of water before returning to her children... But she couldn't ignore the boy. She'd wait for him to grow bored and leave.

"You smell nice" she chirped to him with a smile "you smell like your mother. She's my friend" Was that what they were? She had tended to Sparrow before and after the raid, spoken to her a few times... She considered the woman a friend, trusted her... But they hadn't exactly said they were friends yet - or at all "you're a little prince, did you know?" She adds to the boy "your mother is King; that makes you a prince." She wondered if the pups would place stock in it.

"What's your name, little prince?" she asked him.
