Almost all the litters had been born to Taviora, it seemed this year the pack had been very… active per say, though perhaps the most active of all she was finding was her brother of all wolves. She tried very hard not to be angry about the situation and understand. It’s winter and she knew all too well under certain circumstances and with the right feelings involved that, well, things happened. Zeltzin had been alone for a long time, Lucero had been gone for years before she had ended up in the blizzard with Eden and they had some history even before that day. She knew Dexter knew Tuari growing up and she learned from her daughter that Talien had been brought to Taviora by Dexter too. Zeltzin was pretty quick to put it all together, and she felt both mad and felt for her brother at the same time. He was always a little different in many ways and she felt he was probably lost in the dark with all of this. What she felt bad about was the fact that her dear brother very likely didn’t mean for this to get out of paw as it were, and now that he was here wasn’t sure what to do. She felt bad as well that he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the birth’s of these children as much as much would too.

This was a time to enjoy family, to enjoy the life that you had created with someone you cared about, least thus far in their family’s case, instead she was certain he was running himself ragged trying to be father and mate to two different families. Someone was going to get put in the dirt. She didn’t know if Tuari knew about this girl, this girl knew about the other or what have someone. Someone was going to get hurt she knew that much, and it very well also could just be all of them. As his howl called up she found herself already almost there. She had been keeping close to the area which Talien had bedded down for days. Though of course she had been tending to Tuari and her exhaustion issues, Paisley in her bad tearing, then Astrid, who was fine despite birthing four pups, but one was very ill so she had been doing that last in the day before thoroughly bathing afterwards. Just running to those places once a day for one thing or another was exhausting for the Love of Taviora, she couldn’t imagine trying to live to lives.

It was a very short time then that Dexter had to wait for her to arrive, she was pretty sure her brother might be horrified by such things, but Zeltzin had a job and duty to the mother’s of this pack, and him for that matter. She wouldn’t out him, not by a long shot, but soon as she dipped into the den saw him there as protectively as he had been with Tuari before letting her eyes run over the boy that took so much after their family then the girl with markings similar to their father she ignored Dexter and moved right to Talien. ”It’s nice to finally meet you Talein. My daughter, Zelda, has told me a bit about you.” She offered a small smile to the female, sifting through her supplies before continuing, ”I’m Zeltzin, the healer for Taviora. Now if you could, take this.” She offered softly placing some valerian root near Talien’s muzzle, ”For the pain, I will leave you some too for later, one chunk as needed for pain, but honestly you are looking like you did well.” She said smiling at the younger female. Her tail waved lightly moving around her and keeping her nose in her work versus side-eying her brother like she wanted. There was no bad tearing, no visible damage yet though she knew that also could change with time like it had for her with her last litter. A lot went on when having pups and while her birth went smoothly Zeltzin would be checking in for post natal visits for a few weeks to come to be certain.

Then it was time to examine her pups. She nudged the boy several times, he was nursing well but there were no sounds of protests or screams from being disturbed. The girl while small, was not a runt, she breathed, nursed and cried strongly and took after her mother in many ways, size included it seemed. It was strange, if not completely ironic, but she was pretty certain he was mute. ”Dex, I think he’s mute.” She said to him then slightly nervously turned her gaze to Talien as she began to reassure her. ”He’ll be fine! I’ve seen mute wolves live normal lives, I promise.” She assured her not sure how much she knew about well… anything that Tuari was mute and that ironically muteness showed up in this litter rather than Tuari’s own.

”Thankfully though you, and them otherwise appear very healthy, congratulations. I also better be hearing tidings of names for this new nephew and niece of mine” She said genuinely, giving a wink to her brother, then bowing her head to the girl and turning around so that only her brother could see her features. Her eyes locked onto his narrowing slightly, You. Me. Talk. Later.” She mouthed knowing that he would completely understand having been around a real mute. However she didn’t want to mar an otherwise happy occasion for him. She just hoped they knew and were happy and that he could be happy too.
