Such excitement and energy! Her son had been pestering his father well before she had spoken to give them leave of the den, and even now he was still at it, starting a little war in the snow. And there, among the trees, her daughter was racing about, weaving in and out of sight as she skirted the very edge of their permissible play area, already testing those limits set down by her parents. Tahlia could not help the proud smile that stretched across her face as she watched them at play, so happy with what she had been given. It had been a long time coming, but the wait had been completely worth it. Here was everything she could have wanted, everything she had dreamed about even if it had not been this exact picture in her mind at the time. But it was still no less perfect.
Drawing in a breath of the crisp air, she rocked herself to her feet and padded closer to her husband and Jakart, still smiling over their antics as she reached down and nuzzled her mate behind his ear. Lifting her head, she glanced toward the treeline again, spotting her daughter still crouched there beyond where she should have been but before a word could be spoken by Tahlia the girl's older sibling was there, pouncing on her and initiating more play. She shook her head slightly, hoping that in a moment the pair would wander their way closer again, at least within the designated boundary, and sat down beside Bane. She did not try jumping into the festivities herself - it was difficult shedding her somewhat strict and proper bearing, even for the children - but she was content enough with merely spectating and was happy just to be with them.
