Unveil your abomination
She didn't know what the sound was exactly that she made. She dug her nails into the ground and worked on pulling herself from the pile. It took a moment before she was out, sent tumbling forward to land on her face. It caused a yelp to come from her in shock. Another sound she didnt recognize as her own. She tucked her tail, coming to stand before shaking herself clean. Her legs were wobbly, and she made at an awkward pace for the den entrance. It took a few tries after bumping her nose into things before she finally found what she was looking for. A way away from the pile and those strange sounds. Her mother probably watched but she wouldn't know. She emerged and flopped in her triumph at the entrance. This wasn't near far enough but would do for now. She was the runt, the last born, and the tiniest if one compared her to her siblings.
Argus has a sphinx for a companion, named Kamilah, she is assumed to be with Argus unless stated otherwise.
Carefully the quiet boy would tuck his head underneath her body. Trying to prop her up to stand as his skinny tail stretched straight out. He would not speak a word but would worry over her well being. Careful his eyes said as did his actions. He was still.... listening. Turning to see what else he could study with these new seeing eyes of his.
When she heard Argus whimper, a sound she recognized as foreign, she perked her ears. Red eyes opened and slowly, but by the time Nova was fully able to force herself awake Argus had gone and flopped near the entrance, their brother, Ochitsu near her. He was quiet too, Nova noticed, but the girl didn't mind. They were her family... and she'd protect them from the feelings she didn't like... from the things that might scare them.
Protectively Nova padded over to the two, watching them with her bright orbs as tail wagged a mile a minute behind her. "Hold on Ochitsu. Does Argus want to get up?" She spoke the words gently, nosing her brother's shoulder before glancing to their sister. She was just glad that Argus was up and about. Who cared if she was different? Nova loved her all the same.
One fat rabbit in Bones jaws and another fat rabbit in his own and together the to trudged from their hunting spot and headed back towards the den. Chasm was quiet like normal, especially now that his mouth was stuff full. The pair walked side by side and though Bones was much smaller both walked at the same speed. As they got closer to the den Chasm's dual gaze quickly noticed something was vary much different. The mass of color at the entrance of the den immediately threw the boy into a protective mode and his hackles rose along with his speed quickened. When he got even closer he was somewhat relieved to realize that it was just his siblings. Though he knew they shouldn't be out of the den at least there was no threat to his mom or his siblings.
His pace slowed, he paused to place the rabbit on the ground. He approached the three cautiously, deathly afraid he may harm them. Gently he sniffed over each one making sure that they had not been harmed. Once satisfied he sat down in front of them and looked over each tiny form. Bones in the meantime slipped in the den around the pups to deliver the meal to Marina.
"You three okay?" he asked unsure what else to say to them.
So when Marina heard her daughter for the first time she wasn’t sure which of her children made the sound. Her eyes sapped open, gaze shooting around until they landed on the flopping Argus. Ochitsu was quick to go to her side and help her stand, as was Nova, who was less about having Argus stand and more so checking to make sure she was alright. Marina felt her heart ease a little bit. Her children… Gods she loved them. The way they came into the world might have been a nightmare, but Marina wouldn’t have changed that for the world. They were hers… They were Celestians.
Seeing Bones and Chasm come back in Marina brightened a little. Her tail gave a wag, her depression no longer as bad as it had once been before the birth of her newest litter. She had hoped that the perk in her mood would allow Chasm some peace of mind… but she knew she couldn’t withhold the truth from the boy forever. Her gaze the slid to Bones, giving a grateful nod to the devil. “Thank you.” But for right now she wanted to make sure her babies were all settled. She could worry about eating a little later.
Carefully rising, so she would disturb Aza, she moved behind Adore and Chasm, smiling gently. “It’s alright, sweeties… Argus just found her legs is all.” The female nosed her second born daughter, giving Adore a lick on the back of her head. “Your big brothers brought home rabbits. Do you want to try some? It’s big wolf food.” Marina’s tone was gentle as she eased down to the earth, glancing at Chasm. She hoped to meet his eye. “...and Chasm? I’d like to talk to you tonight. Do you think Bones can watch the den after the others are settled in?”
