not ONE but BOTH OF US?

Oki's ears flicked back, now Cy was yelling at him too! Admittedly, it hadn't been a good idea to try and pin the blame on not one but two pregnant ladies, even if he thought he was telling the truth. Sort of, mostly. His tail curled between his legs, thank the heavens he had the mind to look an apologetic, not double down as a more stubborn wolf might. Cy had a lot of good points though, she was obviously the brain of the band and Oki was just the muscle, who did muscly things.

And apparently Cel was a mind-reader too, since she was quick to narrow in on his brewing suggestion they go to Ashen for a bit. Let Mum do the helping out and-yeah, he knew better than to try to press the matter, kept his dumb mouth shut as they both went off, dealing with this in their own ways.

"Well-maybe-" He kept starting and stopping, trying to think of something wise and smart to say. Not his speciality but worth an effort, to think before he speaks. "I could carry them, get someone to make a harness or something. It's not- I can help, is what I'm trying to say." But not very well.
