Friction had been right when it came to giving Eria space. Even though she loved her pups with every fiber of her being, the black female needed some time for herself. She had left the den shortly after Friction and the kids had departed, only because she was so used to the sounds of relaxed breathing and occasional puppy grunts during the night. After shaking sleep free from her pelt, she made her way towards the furthest parts of Valhalla's territory.
As she walked through the unoccupied forest, Eria had time to think. She wondered if where she was in life at that point was the right place. Her life wasn't really going anywhere since the fall apart of Glaciem, for she had been endlessly wandering across the vast continent with no end in sight. A lonely wanderer, who hadn't any ties to anyone in any of the four corners of the globe. Eria had been on a smooth constant with no horizons in sight for so long, it felt weird to have more of a purpose again.
What was the purpose? Instead of one, she now had three. First, it had been the man she was currently denning with: Friction Sovari. The multi-hued male with the calming eyes had taken her for a wonderful night of passion and dreams that, at the time, didn't seem like they would come true. After they parted ways, however, she found out she was pregnant and her mind was terrorized with fear. Being a single mother -- and a rogue at that -- were enough to make her freak out and want to curl into a ball. But, she had come across Friction again by the strangest chance and her fears subsided. He had wanted her to give birth in a safe environment and the safest to him was Valhalla. It was there that Eria went to give birth to their children.
Now, as she began to reflect on the night of pain and fear, she remembered Friction being beside her through it all. Erani, now the leader of the "new" Valhalla, had been there to help her with the deliveries of her two babies. It wasn't a big blowout for the woman to have the pups, but Eria preferred it that way. Comfort and warmth had surrounded her and her little family after both pups were safely delivered. Nostalgia hit her and she looked down at the dark earth in front of her. It was crazy how it all panned out in the end.
By the time the afternoon had come upon the lands, Eria had returned to her den. After thinking of how her lifestyle was with Friction -- not being married, nor being single, either -- she had come to the conclusion that she would be content with having him beside her, regardless of marital status. Her body had relaxed into the darker, shady areas of the den when sleep took over her mind. Her babies were growing so fast, but she didn't mind it. She preferred to see them grow rather than keep them at a certain age forever. Sleep was something she hadn't felt in awhile and she took advantage of being alone for it.
When Friction returned to the plains, his scent and the muffled bark announced his presence. Slowly, she was pulled from her slumber, but it was about time to get up anyway. A quick yawn, blinking of her blue eyes, and ginger movements took her from the darkness of their den. Upon stepping outside, she noted that the light of the day was almost gone and she blinked in surprise. Had she been asleep for that long? The surprise faded when her gaze met Friction's and happiness and warmth replaced it. "Friction," she greeted with her eyes twinkling. Her nose found his neck and she freely nuzzled him with an affectionate lick given to his cheek. "Where have you been? I have missed you..."
