As they watched on from the confines of the den, teal eyes take in the death of the brothers and the actions that follow. Now is not the time for mourning, even if Everlyse and Lucero call out for it. Now is the time for action, to be taking measure and account for all at hand. Everlyse is being taken to her den where Haziel is to look after her and though large paws are urged to move forward and near to them she does not. Instead, she turns to the young pale boy pressed against her long legs, to answer his questions voiced. "They are going to take care of your Daddy." Because it was as much honesty as she could give, and she was about to answer his next set when Natu does it for her. A silent nod of thanks is given from the Mother to the slightly older wolf, accompanied with a small smile. From meeting her, she knew she would like the white female and all that she would have to offer and give Asteraia. The Mother in her wanted her to stay with the children, to protect them and make sure all was well- but she knew they were all in good hands. Teal eyes do however take note of her Steward beside an older female, one she does not personally know but thinks might be Alice, the brown brothers mate. Only after gently dishelving Herschel from her limbs with a gentle nuzzle and lick to his forehead does Rhae take leave from the den to help the two females. While it was a job the two of them could easily handle, three would make it even smoother and so the large Mother of Asteraia sets to work in carving and sectioning off. In no time they have organized their findings, and though the day is filled with sadness there is also certain victory. For surely a meal so large would keep the families happy and content for days, and it was something other than nothing. A blood stained earth toned face turn to the females at her side, thanking each of them and giving Delya a gentle but bloody nuzzle against her face. It was a wonder to see how each would handle this and how they may proceed, but for now, there was work to be done and direction to be had, and not all this meat would keep for too very long. Some would be preserved and others consumed, and with some of the large group moving away the area would also have to be guarded. So much blood and meat and bloody meat would surely attracted all sorts of attention, especially from those unwanted here, and teal eyes kept a sharp lookout for the approach of anything like it. |
