Burn it down [meeting]

It was so bloody hot here! At least, it seemed like it to her. All her life she had been adapted to the snow and ice of the north and now she was having to readjust and it certainly wasn't easy or even all that pleasant. She was just glad her boys were still young, it would be easier for them to adjust than it would be her. Of course, moving away from the only home they've ever known was going to be difficult for a while, but she prayed they would grow to love it here too. This was somewhere that memories of their absent father would not linger, where traces of long lost family members wouldn't haunt them. They could all start anew here. She knew Amalia had been working diligently on their den so Athena had begun to explore their new home, not venturing farther than a few dozen feet from the den so that if Amalia wanted her or needed help she would be there in just a moment. She took her boys with her on her exploratory mission, not quite ready to let them out of her sight yet in this new place. She knew they were growing up fast, but it was hard for her to let go enough to let them run free here. She would of course, just not yet. They had only just joined them here the day before after all. She wove her way through the mangroves, protective Vitus at her side, Archelus and Bacchus just behind her, and ever energetic Tiburtius in front leading the way. She smiled, loving these moments with her sons, quietly hoping that this never had to end. Epiphron's call broke the silence and she paused, turning her head toward the howl and listening. A meeting. Without hesitation, she said her her sons, "Come on, boys. I suppose it's high time we formally introduce you to your Grandmother Epiphron." She supposed Pip was going to be as much their grandmother as Amalia was their mother so she wanted them to get used to hearing her refered to as such... and wanted to get herself used to it as well. She hurried forward at a quick trot toward the meeting, her sons on her heels. When she arrived she saw she was only second to Amalia and she smiled when she saw her wife sitting proudly next to her mother. She chuckled, coming over to Amalia first and nuzzling her cheek before taking a step back and turning her gaze to Epiphron, giving the queen a respectful nod. "I'd like to introduce Tiburtius, Bacchus, Archelus, and Vitus," she said with a smile, nodding to each one in turn to indicate which one was which. She knew there would be plenty of time for them to get to know each other later so she smiled and nodded once more to Pip before turning and taking a few steps away so that she could sit down in front of her mother-in-law where the rest of the pack would be sitting, motioning for her boys to do the same. She wanted to sit beside Amalia, but her wife was up front next to her mother and she knew that wasn't her place. So instead she smiled and peered proudly at Amalia, her tail wagging behind her. |
