All things soft and warm

Hearthstone had been bustling as of late with everyone that would normally spend their days out and about sticking to the sheltered interiors of the castle thanks to the endless rains that the Auster winter brought. She certainly didn't mind. After all, that gave her all the more opportunities to catch her wandering children and spend time with them. Now that their first litter was a staggering two years old and their second was getting into their first year she knew it was going to be increasingly difficult to pin them down for little lessons and moments together so she'd take whatever moments she could, no matter how brief.

Briar was in the castle's lounge, elbow deep in piles of furs that she had pulled from their storage and piles of wool that had been sheered from their alpacas when she spotted Nelu passing by in the hallway. "Nelu! Mind lending your mother a paw or two?" she called to him, smiling as she paused her pillow stuffing to get his attention. She knew that the crafting and cooking she usually spent the bulk of her day doing wasn't nearly as exciting as the fight training and the like that they usually did with their father so she didn't often try to rope them into her chores, but if it was too rainy to go out why not see if they would join her? She gestured a paw to the stack of empty pillow cases she had already sewn together with one side being left open to be able to put in the stuffing. "All of these materials have just been sitting in storage waiting to be used so what better way to pass some time on a rainy day?"
