It was rather astounding in some ways just how swiftly her children were growing. She didn't care to compare any of them to the dark man from the crypt, though Signy with her mostly black coat and green eyes certainly resembled him the most. The green, she preferred to think came from her mother's side of the family, the bright eyes that her two girls had certainly had more of their grandmother's warmth within them than that cold stare that still haunted her some nights. The pups were easing it slightly, of course they were technically his too and whilst she knew it, she certainly didn't love them any less. They were her beautiful little angels...
Actually, perhaps it was best to correct that last bit, especially as Emer stirred from her own sleep, opening her golden eyes to glance down at the three, no just two pups? Suddenly now wide with fright she would glance around the den hoping to catch sight of Signy perhaps in the corner getting ready to pounce on any one of them but aside from herself, Cecily and Taddeo there was no one else in the den.
Emer was used to fear coursing through her by now, it still gripped hold of her each day. She feared any harm coming to her or to her children and right now it had risen once more to an almost uncontrollable level. Her maternal instincts would fight through as it seems they typically had with the pups, though as she jumped up from her spot in the den, she would have likely awoken Cecily and Taddeo as well. No second glance was given as she moved swiftly to the entrance gazing outside, there was no acknowledgement of the lovely sunrise there was nothing but panic as she scanned the lands trying to see her daughter.
"SIGNY!" She shouted, stepping fully outside though with no idea which direction to go in. Yes they were in Valhalla though it didn't ease her worries at all, they'd never left the den before and this was not what she had wanted their first outing to be like at all.
