Passing the Torch

Her haunches had coiled beneath her as she would patiently wait for her first born, she would happily anticipate his presence. Her downy tail would wrap around to cover delicate alabaster paws as her pale eyelids would slide shut. The warmth of the sun's last rays would bathe her in light as she would listen for her son's foot steps. Her efforts would not be in vain as moments later she would hear the slight disturbance of the wood before her son was upon her. She would find herself pressed to his breast as his neck snaked around her own to rest between her shoulders. She would push herself into his embrace, closing her bicolored gaze in pleasure at the surprise affection. He would swiftly bring himself to apologize, she would realize quickly how grown up he was becoming. They were all so mature now, her eyes would become misty at the revelation. Her babies were growing up. She would look into his precious gaze with out any sort of judgement, "I could never be angry with you my love. And deserve it or not you'll have my love until the end of the earth." She would nuzzle him again, feeling a pang of sadness as she thought of Cherokee when she looked at him. "My dearest, I need to speak with you of serious topics." her features would become slightly more somber, though nothing would really get her down after Dhiren's embrace. "You know your father has been... Scarce." gone is more like it though, she hadn't seen him since their second litter had been born. "It's hard to keep up with everything by myself. Dhiren, I need you to train very hard, I need you to become my 1st apprentice." her bicolored gaze would look into his own as she completed her request.?
