Shaye was seeing a lot of her Aunt over the last week, first with Shaye going to Imperium and doing a little healer training with the older woman, and now with Rhy settling for a few days in Abaven. She was pretty sure it was for Motif's pregnancy more then anything else but the young girl would take any reason to be nearer to her Aunt. Unable to decide where she wanted to be, she often started out in either her parents or her Aunties den, only for the other party to wake up and find she had sneaked in to nestle beside them. This night she had started out with her feet cuddles under her mothers belly and her head sprawled out across her fathers long, outstretched forelegs. She woke some time in the night, kissed her mumma's growing belly and sneaked out to find her Auntie, she sneaked into Rhythm's temporary den and flopped over her Aunt's forelegs, still considering herself a pup she overflowed hilariously on every side despite her efforts to curl into a tight ball on her Aunt's paws. "speech"

Rhythm hadn't told Shaye about the decision she'd made yet, nor the fact that her mother had left it entirely up to her aunt to make the decision. At the end of their long day all she'd wanted to do was sleep. She would get quite a bit of rest after finding her way to her old den, which felt odd to sleep in after becoming accustom to her den in Imperium. She'd fallen asleep quickly though, and it seemed like only two minutes passed before she'd feel pressure on her paws. At first she wasn't sure what was happening as she was woken up, but Shaye's scent would wash over her and she'd relax into the girl. "What are you doing, Shaye." She couldn't help but ask, though obviously sleepily. She'd rest her head on her niece's rump not evening opening her eyes as the young she wolf got comfortable. ""

Her efforts to make herself small and cuddly where a failure, and Rhythm would wake with her movements. Her Aunt's sleepy voice would reach out and question her and she giggled softly as she felt Rhythm shuffle to accommodate her, and rest her head on her larger niece's rump. “I came to see you” she answered snuggling further into Rhythm's paws as let out a deep breath and smiled, already she was feeling sleepy again, the restlessness that had over taken her back in her parents den was fading. She had just needed some Rhythm time, that was all, a chance to cuddle up with her favorite Aunt for the night. “I'm gonna be a big sister Auntie” she said, through her voice was muffled and buried in her own paws. “Do you like being a sister?" "I can get to teach them healing and I can find them little feathers just like mine and daddy's and I can take her to Imperium, and its all gonna be so awesome” she said, her voice ending in a sleepy sigh. "speech"

She'd receive a silly giggle from her restless niece as she told her that she was coming to visit. Rhythm did smile, though she was half asleep as she listened to Shaye's voice. "Well, hello." She'd whisper back as the girl finished getting comfortable. She seemed to really settle down fast, relaxing into her aunt effortlessly. Rhythm couldn't deny how pleasant it was snuggling with Shaye. She might have fallen back to sleep had Shaye's muffled voice not reached her ears. She couldn't help but perk them towards the sound. "I know you are," she'd muse groggily as Shaye went on, asking questions to her aunt. "I like being a sister, and it will be awesome." There would be no arguing that, especially from her not even full awake brain. ""

Rhythms voice would just be a whisper, and she quietly gave her hello to her niece. Shaye grinned happily in the dark, totally at ease in rhythms familiar presence. As Shaye continued to speak, too happy to sleep despite settling in with rhy, she would feel her aunt stir at Rhy sound of her voice. Shaye would only giggle again as she confirmed that she knew Shaye would be a sister "Of course you know, silly" Shaye replied, stifling a yawn as she spoke and she would shuffle again, turning her bulk so that she could cuddle her muzzle under her aunt's chin, likely destroying the other woman in the process, but she simply needed to be a closer to her hero. She giggled again as she got Rhy to easily confuse her love of being a sister, and how it would be for Shaye. Of course, Shaye however would learn from example and never let such simple things come between her and her siblings as it had with rhythm. Not that she blamed her aunt, the entire situation had just blown out of control and everyone had suffered. "Do you think I'll get to name any" Shaye wondered sleepily. "speech"

Rhythm would coax another giggle from her niece as she called her aunt silly, though she wounded like she was losing a bit of her spunk with the yawn that lingered afterwards. Rhythm would be allowed back to sleep soon, then they could do whatever Shaye wanted the next morning. She wasn't quite ready to make her return to Imperium quite yet. Rhythm wouldn't let thoughts of Valentine linger within her mind as she was cuddled closely by her not so little niece. Rhythm enjoyed being a sister very much, there were times she wasn't sure if she would have been able to continue on with out their love and support. She just wished that some of those times hadn't been caused by the other siblings. They were on their way to recovery, Rhythm and Motif were again patching things up. "Maybe, what kind of names were you thinking about?" She'd answer Shaye's innocent question. ""
