Chocolate is good for the soul

The young Novel would sit miserably in a shallow stream that ran practically through her den. Like Bhaire she had found a nice place in the base of a tree. Elohim had a perfect amount of room and she had extra storage for herbs. There was a safe place to sleep up in the truck and the tall roots made a great place for her dried plant material. She never stopped studying with Elohim, the two of them had become quite a pair. Still nothing compared to Bhaire and Odd, but she felt confident in their abilities. She knew her mother would be birthing her newest siblings soon, at least she hoped. Her very much pregnant mother was confined to her den the rest of the pregnancy, the strain caused her sickness to return. It seemed it was not quite as aggressive as the first time but she didn't want to take any chances with her new brothers and sisters.?

She would be on her way to see the pale she wolf who birthed her a year before, when she heard the familiar call of her aunt. She still wasn't sure how she felt about Symphony anymore, but her voice sounded Urgent so the ever loyal and helpful girl would direct her path towards her aunt. ?Seeing her would explain the circumstances quite well, and since aunt Novella had already shown up there was little cause for the attention to remain upon the younger healer. She would let herself remain neutral and judgement free as she had been taught. It was not a healers place to do such. Instead she would do her best to smile and be excited for her cousins to come into the world. Symphony was obviously due anytime, and would need help during the birth, and Novel was happy to be there for her aunt and her new brood. "welcome back aunt symphony! I see you've brought me new cousins to hopefully meet soon." it was hard to feel any bitterness when such a beautiful blessing was bestowed upon her kin. So the little she healer would skip up to offer a nuzzle to her expecting aunt.?
