Dark clouds hovered in the distant sky, heading for the Vale, which made Dalmatia shiver with worry. Of course, this had been a natural feeling these past few days. When they should have been happier days ahead; her recent engagement, spring's oncoming blossoms, the pups starting to get old enough to waddle around — some of the happiest days of her life. But the curse, expanding its roots, also soiled the blossoming flowers of life and hope for the future.
It took only a little for Golde's golden fur to peek into view, shining underneath the bright sun. Something no, one of her pups, toddled along in between the new mother's legs. A bright feeling fell over Dal, a small glimpse into what motherhood would look like; poor Golde seemed exhausted and just about fed up with the child strapped to her body. Honestly, Dal wished now she'd visited sooner; maybe she could have gifted Golde some reprieve and watched over the pups. When she returned, she would have to ask her. The scout apologized for the little charcoal and golden bundle of joy. Dal put up a paw in front of her and waved it, motioning for her not to fret,
Don't worry... I was hoping to see a few of your little ones before we left.She admitted after placing the bundle in front of her, paw atop it.
Dal leaned down to meet the small pup's gaze when she asked her mother a question.
They're helpful aids, little one. Some are like medicine for when you feel sick or... if you've ever scraped your paw, you can get certain herbs wet and lay them over your scrape and it'll feel better and clean over time.She explained, changing metaphors for the young pup. After explaining, she sat back up, leaning into Nóttin, and giving an assuring smile to Golde,
I actually brought them for you... Some chamomile, raspberry leaves, and elderberries to keep you healthy.
Vidarr caught the corner of Dal's eye and she turned her head, greeting him with a small duck of her head,
Hello Vidarr.She hummed softly, settling herself by keeping Eidel busy while the adults talked.
Would you like to try a berry?She asked, keeping her voice quiet, taking her paw off the bundle.
