Count on It [puppy birthing]

The female watched the smaller one, her blue eyes locking with the woman's own for a moment. She didn't seem to be too happy to see her at first, but the yearling pressed forward and asked her questions regardless. She would stay on her toes with Soliel, and watch to make sure that she didn't make her upset. Yet even after her congratulations it seemed that she was not calming completely, the young female could still see the tenseness of the other woman's muscles, and Chrysanthe found herself holding her breath in response to the tension.
It was a standoff, albeit accidental. And Chrys was moments from turning around and leaving when the older female smiled. It was enough for her to inch closer, but she remained wary. There was nothing stopping this woman from attacking - she wasn't family, she had no reason to look after her or see her as such. If the new mother wanted to attack then she had every right to... and so she froze, only staring as she was beckoned closer, but she was still attentive. Her ears twitched as she was told what to do, how to handle the tiny pups, like she was some sort of monster, or incapable of understanding just how precious the puppies were.
Two boys and a girl, Chrysanthe nodded, looking at them with a softened expression. Her feelings toward their mother were not quite identifiable - but she couldn't help but love their tiny squirming form. The yearling smiled when she realized that yet - one did look a bit like her. "She does - how peculiar." Almost like they were really family - like Chrys had the right to call herself the children's aunt even though their family was a bit strange. "They're precious." She said, finally, before stepping back. The young female's gaze turned to Collision, smiling as he offered to begin naming their children. He wanted to name one Soleon - a name that sounded much like a mixture of the two of their names. Chrysanthe nodded in approval.
But... Perhaps this was something that the couple should have to themselves. "Thank you for letting me see them." No longer wishing to intrude any farther, she moved to leave. It was something that she knew was right but... it was strange. It left her missing her siblings, her father, her mother. Yet she would show no sign of anything but quiet praise. She would come back later with something hunted, and ask what they had named them - but for the most part she would take to wandering yet again. Without Valhalla she had no reason to stay in one place.
"Talk like this."
