Involved:
Aylin- female cougaress
Naira- female cougar cub
Neena- female cougar cub
The last few hours have been spent dozing almost peacefully, with her cubs finally born her body has had some time to recuperate from such a draining experience. The cougaress woke up and nuzzled her sleeping brother, glad he was still around, before extracting herself from her cubs and moving to the small stash of hares that Azriel had brought for her. She devours one of them in no time before returning to her pile of cubs, looking them over curiously. Did I make those? o.o Aylin bends her head to inhale their scents and to smooth down their short, dappled fur. Strange. She murmurs softly to herself, eyes trailing north. What will Revan think?
With the warmth of her mother leaving the cubs, a faint mew escapes Naira as she wiggles slightly and presses back against a sibling and she stretches slightly. Why is everything so COLD?
Her daughter's movement brings her attention back down to the cubs, and unknowingly Aylin finds herself comforting the child with a strange, gentle nuzzle. Is this what she wanted? She'll be asking this of herself for a long time, she feels, but a smile manages to work its way onto her muzzle and she issues a soft purr. The cougaress circles her children once before settling down, curling up around the cubs to allow them to nurse, if they wish. A paw is touched to her youngest, the one crying, and something comes to her. "Naira," she purrs; her benediction.
It just so turns out that the sibling that her sister--Naira apparently--pressed up against was the oldest of the litter, the yet to be named female. It also happens that she had been in a very peaceful sleep until then, being brought back into reality at the sudden feeling of her younger sister pressing up against her. Grr, and she was enjoying that nap too! Alas, any feelings of discontent are soon swept away when the figure she recognizes as Mommy suddenly returns to them. The female starts to awkwardly crawl back to her mother, seeing warmth and possibly a meal.
Naira does indeed quiet down at the touch, a faint purr like sound might be heard escaping the girl while she leans into the warmth of her mother's form. Well this is a bit better then the cold air being felt upon her. Her small forepaws presses out and upon her mother’s stomach while the girl searches for food, and once finding a place she goes about nursing which makes her quiet down even more. The words are heard but she does not understand them at the moment. As for her dear older sister, the thought of waking her up when she didn't want too means nothing too her!
Her girls are watched with a sense of adoration, and as her youngest settles herself Aylin smoothes down her fur with one last tongue swipe before her attention draws to the eldest. She leans forward and noses the other, issuing that self-same warm purr, touching her large nose to her smaller one. "Neena," she gives to the oldest, closing her eyes at the sound of the names. "Neena, Naira," Aylin whispers, though she picks up her head and glances at her sleeping brother, and again north, toward the lake. What /will/ Revan think. And what is she ever going to do about Malak. Her features fall a bit, troubled. Ohdear.
The name seems to drift over Neena as if nothing were wrong, a sound close to purring coming from her as her mother noses at her. The girl tries to give a playful swipe at her muzzle, but only ends up falling over. Undaunted, she tries to quickly get up before heading over to her mother's side, finds a nipple and starts to feed next to her younger sister.
The movement is felt from her sister and she mews out while getting slightly pushed back an inch. She shoves a shoulder towards Neena as if saying 'Dis is my spot!’ Her forepaws paw out at her mother’s stomach a few times as she goes about trying to find the nipple once more.
"Now," Aylin chides both gently, though she takes a large paw and sweeps both girls closer to her, each able to feed without interruption from the other... assuming they feel like staying put. As they settle, she sighs gently, and her sad eyes turn north again. "What will I do?" she murmurs, confiding in her children that she knows will not give her the answers. "I don't trust Malak but I don't know why." Her voice is almost pained. She glances at her still sleeping son, and nudges him closer to the girls. "And Revan," she whispers, sighing, "what will he think of two girls, and only one boy? Will he even care you exist?" She has no idea. After everything she thought she understood about her life and herself, now she questions everything.
Neena wiggles a bit as her sister nudges her, attempting to do the same back to her, as if saying back 'Deal with it!' Great, now she lost her food source! Pawing lightly in front of her, she tries to locate the nipple once again, soon finding it and starting to suck on it. Ahh that's better. Neena nuzzles up against her sister as she feeds, partly for warmth and partly because of the sisterly love she has inside her. Taw, how cute.
Naira relaxes and quiets down as she hears her mother's tone, though she also finds the food source again and goes back to nursing. She just deals with her sister’s nudge back while she starts to purr faintly. At the nuzzle she gives her sister one back. Ain't they sweet?
Her daughter's reactions to one another calm her worried nerves, and for the moment she pushes her thoughts about Revan and Malak away from her mind. If anything, if anything were to happen, she knows that Azriel would stand beside her. She... doesn't know /why/ he would, but he would. Brothers are strange. Her two girls cause her muzzle to curl up in a delicate smile, just as a small flower blooms, and she drops her head to nuzzle the two of them, her purr resounding through her body. She'll be fine, surely. There must be a reason for everything that's ever happened to her, even more so now. For once she's content, keeping the worrisome thoughts of the future at bay.
If Neena were a tad bit older, it's possible she'd be aware of her mother's worrisome feelings. However, being the young and helpless newborn she is, everything is just fine and dandy to her. I mean, how can it /not/ be when you've got your sis cuddled up next to you and Mommy nuzzling at your head? She continues feeding from where she is, content with everything around her.
Naira has no idea what her mother is dealing with, and if she was older she would only be trying to make her mother feel better, because that is was good cubs do! After nursing a bit longer she curls up on her side and presses closer to her dear sister, a slight yawn escaping the young cub.
If only they knew how much they already helped her today. While she'll admit the whole pregnancy and birthing thing kinda' sucked, the end result isn't that bad, so far. Aylin curls up around her children, nuzzling each in turn before she settles herself to rest, ears trained to the sounds around her. Most everything is quiet, Malak have disappeared into the forest, and the only sounds besides themselves is Azriel's steady breathing. Uncle will have to cubsit soon, but for now Aylin is content to stay with her children. Purr.
When she's finally done filling her belly, Neena gives a small yawn with a cute little squeak to it. Mmm, looks like its nappy time. The small cub moves to cuddle up a bit closer to her sister, putting her tiny head on top of her back. Now ain't that the cutest thing you ever saw? Another yawn escapes the cub before her breathing becomes steady and she falls into dreamworld. Wake up, eat, then go back to sleep. The life of a cub.
Naira is soon asleep herself. Indeed the life of a cub is a good one. So far these cubs have had a good start, only time will tell what might happen to them. At the moment they just want to sleep and be with mommy.
