These days that never end

She was glad to hear that he and Kangi were doing well, but she could tell that he was distracted by something. Her emerald gaze followed his to her swollen belly. His question and the way he rested his nose on her side made her smile. "Yes, very soon indeed." As if to testify to this, her pups squirmed as they often did now, pushing against her side with their little paws. Euph winced slightly, but smiled all the same. It was always wonderful to know that her pups were well and she took that movement as a sign of this. His next statement surprised her, but not because she thought he wouldn't want to, but because she thought that it would go without saying that he would be a part of their lives. A reassuring smile touched her muzzle and she gently licked his cheek. "Of course you can, Talon. As far as I'm concerned, you are going to be their older brother and you can be there for every step of the way if you want." Euphrosyne worried a lot about Talon's image of himself. With a brute like Isardis around it was easy to feel less than adequate and she was sure it was even worse for Talon. She had seen how Isardis treated him. She had even often thought how bringing him here had been a mistake... but there was no getting away from Isardis now and she couldn't bear to leave Talon all on his own, so here he was. It wasn't ideal, but at least they were together as they had a home. "I don't care what Isardis says, you'll always be my son," she said gently, nuzzling the boy affectionately.
