I hear the victorious call of my brother and my tail wags, glad that he has been victorious. Of course I never had a doubt that he would win but I also know it doesn't come without a price so I worry for his injuries. My first thought is of mother but I know she doesn't see as well as she used to. I haven't seen her actually practice medicine in years now that I think about it and that makes me frown. I head to her den on my way to see Amoxtli, the thought of his injuries making me think of her and how I haven't seen her in a little while. I usually stop by to see her in the meadow when dad brings her out there. I know she's been more tired than usual since she came back from Heyel's funeral. I call out to her as I reach her den and when I hear her soft voice inside, I peek my head in. She's gotten so much more sunken in since I last saw her. My face falters if only for a second before I recover, knowing she can't see but not wanting to risk it anyway. She has that mother's sense after all. Still I paint a smile on my face and greet her, licking at her cheek and liking the way her eyes still light up when she knows it's me. When I tell her about Amoxtli returning victorious she seems very proud and tells me so but then starts to worry that no one will be there to tend his wounds. I assure her that he'll have someone but even so, she tries to get up and I'm quick to lend my shoulder, sure that dad would if he was here. I bet he's out hunting for her again. He's almost obsessive about making mom eat to try to keep her health up. I let mom lean against me as I walk her slowly out of the den and toward Amoxtli's call. She makes idle conversation with me as we walk, asking what I've been up to. I tell her how Wren has returned, a good friend of mine and she seems happy, even making me blush a little when she mentions Calliel. I swear my mom will never forget that I once spent time with Kane and Isola's daughter. She seems disappointed qwhen I tell her that I havne't seen Calliel in months. She warns me to get myself out there and meet someone special and I assure her that I will some day, if only to make her smile. Soon enough I see the gathering up ahead and I bow my head in greeting to anyone who looks, offering a friendly smile and wag of my tail as I walk mom through the crowd so she can see Amoxtli. I bow my head respectively to him and Shiloh, noting that she's already gotten started on cleaning his wounds and I tell mom as much. She seems proud and makes a comment about how Shiloh picks up on things quickly and that she always kne she was smart. I give Shiloh a sheepish smile, sure that she can hear mom. "Congratulations, Amoxtli. I never doubted you, brother." I give him a grin, leaning away from mom as she takes a seat to get a better look at his wounds and rest. She moans over his poor eye, asking him if it hurts and I grimace, hoping she's not embarrassing him in front of the others. She looks over at Shiloh then, asking if she's already put aloe on his wounds and reminding her to get some root oils to put in his eye. Even as her own senses go, she still has her wisdom. I smile warmly at the thought. Dexter male.five years old.35in, 145#.born to MothxCoszcotl.sibling to Amoxtli&Zeltzin.unable to bind.mated to none.father to none.Taviora's Stillwing |
