Maternal Bonds {Egypt}

[Deleted]

|Cinder explored the snowy world above the dens. The 'Queen, Xenia, was having her pups and she asked not to be disturbed. Cinder didn't mind, being around strangers made him uncomfortable anyway's. Except for the female, Egypt. Her motherly aura comforted him. He explored some of the other dens in the area, though they were all connected anyway's. The cold was starting to get to him, as well as the hunger. He used his tiny paws to attempt to dig up piles of snow that blocked some of the smaller dens, but didn't make much of an impact.

Egypt padded through the snow, stopping to look at potential densites on her own. She wanted to find as many a possible before making her decision.

while she was in the middle of it though, she spied Cinder at work and smiled at how much of a hard tome he was having. "excuse me, little one" she said, "But perhaps you would prefer a bigger set of paws...or even den maybe?"

|Cinder cringed in embarrassment. He was plenty big enough, larger than most his age. Cinder stepped back to gibe Egypt room to dig and smiled shyly up at the larger wolf. 

"Thank you." he didn't know what to say other than that, his manners were rather lacking, as she must have already known by how he's snapped at the alpha. Cinder was mostly bark and no bite

Well, he didn't take up her off for a bigger den. Oh well. Working her paws in quick secession, it wasn't all that long until she had cleared it out. A little more digging and she has loosened some of the soil so that he wouldn't be laying down directly on a frozen slab.

Her tail wagged genlty as she backed out. "What do you think?" she asked, giving him room to look it over.

| "It's nice. Better than some of the places I use to sleep." It was true. During other winters like this he would have found himself stuck sleeping out in the open, lucky to find a tree still with it's leaves. Just then, his stomach growled loudly, and if he could bury himself in his den and never come out he would.

She nodded, feeling a slight pang that young woles sometimes had to strike it on her own. No doubt he was a strong pup. She was contemplating just digging a shallow snow den for herself nearby when her ears perked. The pup was hungry. He was too old for living on milk, and she was too dark to go hunting for h- oh wait.

Her tail swished a little, "looks like we will have to ask for the pack to go out hunting." she said with some thoughtfulness and then a smile. "im too dark to go get something right now."

|  Cinder nodded in grudging agreement. As much as he hated people doing things for him, he couldn't remember the last time he had fresh food. He didn't know how to hunt so he mostly had the scraps that other animals hadn't picked off. He knew the only wolf  light enough to blend with the surroundings in this pack was his alpha, Uther, and Cinder didn't wan't to bother him.

"I'd do it myself, but I can't. We don't actually have to hunt, I'm sure I can just find something."
