Need a bigger home

The woman's eyes were wide open, seeing yet not seeing. She had been awake for some time, basking in the silence that only came after a long rain. The world outside wasn't yet ready to decide if it wanted to wake, just like the horned brute beside her. The rain had stopped at least an hour prior and Ochitsuki had remained completely still.

Suddenly, a forehead was pressed against hers and Ochi's eyes were opening again. She had dozed off, surrounded by the warmth of her mate and the comfort of their little den. She blinked mismatched eyes and, once Kotori rose, the black and white fae followed suit, giving her long frame a nice, big stretch.

Pulling no punches, Kotori spoke exactly what was on his mind. Ochi blinked, eyes widened for a moment. Puppies? Now? The fae cleared her throat and moved forward to stand beside him, her blue and orange gaze taking in the soggy landscape. She had... concerns. Ochi knew, however, that pups were something that Kotori wanted. She didn't. Not necessarily. They weren't a requirement for her. What kind of mother would she even be? Her own had been cold and distant. Ochi was more warrior than nurturer.

A sigh pulled from her and the woman pressed her forehead into the side of Kotori's neck. "Give me a few seasons," she asked softly. "Our wolves are good, but they aren't as strong as I'd like them to be. If we're to have a family, then we must protect it." Drawing back, she searched his face. "Are you opposed?"
