Freshen Up

Their work moved quickly, even more quickly than she had expected thanks to the distraction of a playful Dusk. She smirked as the dark furred girl ran by and when it was her turn to be visited by the rambunctious pup, she paused her work long enough to playfully nuzzle the top of the girl's head. She hadn't thought much about her own family or what her and Ysmir's future as far as children went would look like until she saw Art and Rudy with their own children and saw their pups running wild around the castle. While she wasn't sure how her brothers and their mates dealt with the chaos that these little fuzz balls brought, she did see the unending love they had for their children and how happy having their families had made them. She tried not to think about it too much since she had full faith that life would lead her and Ysmir where they were meant to be when the time was right, but a part of her did hope that perhaps they would be able to join her siblings in starting their own family one day.

She helped to drag the last of the furs away from the edge of the water, laying them out next to the others in the sun so they could begin to dry. It was quite comical, seeing this portion of the plains covered up with wet furs, but the job was mostly done and now they could rest while they waited on the furs to be dry so they could roll them back up and stow them away until it was time for the bonfire. It did occur to her that they would likely have to do this all over again after the bonfire since they would be dirty from laying on the ground and would smell of smoke, but... that would be a problem for another day. Chuckling softly to herself, she came over to join Ash and Briar, grinning a bit as she caught Dusk along the way and pulled her into her chest as she laid down, nuzzling her little niece as she trapped her and gave her cheek an over exaggerated kiss.
