At first, little Isolde reacted in pressing close to the earth. But, once the realisation had set in, she was soon bounding toward her large Mother with a waving tail and eager voice. Dropping down on the earth much the same as Rhae had done just prior, the young one inches forward until their paws are just barely touching, before leaning uo and kissing the creme bottom of her jaw. A warm, gentle and oh so very kind smile is upon her handsome features as she watches her youngest miracle child, but her brother is not forgotten. None of her children are ever forgotten. He comes to her much like Isolde, only, he goes to her side, reclining there so that he may face his sister with her and lean against her. She is warm and comfortable, and she knows neither she nor he would have him any other place. The fondness Rhae knows for all of her children, especially the youngest, knows no bounds. Her love and care for them go beyond all things, much like, as Alpha, her love and care spreads further out through out her pack and even beyond. There were bonds that were not pack, but they were important bonds all the same and something to keep and cherish. It was a thing she hoped she could teach all of her young ones- blood and not. Distraction comes in the fourm of little Isolde planting her growing paws upon Rhae's own large ones and announcing that her Daddy has been in battle. The smile upon her creme, chocolate and russet features does not dim, and she nods along with the enthusiam in her daughters voice. She was a dreamer, that was for certain, and a trait not to be lost. With a touch of wonderment in her own voice, the large wolf murmurs to herself as much as her children, as she turns her bright eyes to her son at her daughters question to him. "Ice King and Demon horde alike, mmmn.." Isolde's statement might have more truth in it than any of them thought, but, at this point, who really knew where Iblis had gone. Even Rhae did not, though there was a growing sensation that something was about to.. happen. A tugging sensation deep within her gut that told her to look back around, though she did not just quite yet. Instead, teal eyes were for her youngest son, her attention for his agreement with his sister and added comment. Reaching down just beside her, she gave him several neat kisses to the top of his skull with her warm tongue, before nuzzling him there just after. Speaking as she did so, and then turning to Isolde, she gave yet another nod at the words of her youngest ones. "My my, how right you both are. We are always with one another-" At that, she leaned close to Isolde to nudge her dark nose against her chest, just over her heart, before giving Viserys the same gesture. "in here." Almost as if magic, the voice of her beloved, her imprint, her Alpha, the Father of her children- her Iblis, came ringing from behind. It was laced with a chuckle as he spoke of the Ice King and his army, and how the stars sing them to sleep as they rest. She almost lurches up from her position to find him, to meet him and greet him, but she knows he will be there in but a moment. Instead, she turns her bright and intense gaze upon him, the teal colour there swimming with a love and longing that burns deeper than anything she has ever known. The imprint bond is strong between the pair, so very strong, and through the years and times and everything inbetween, it has only grown in strength. Rhae waits to feel his smaller frame against her own, hoping that he might join her on the other side that Viserys lie at, or perhaps on the boys very own otherside, so that he may be between the pair. And so that Isolde might gaze upon them both with ease. Regardless of where he goes, she is so very glad to have him back, and though her wise mind recognizes the new scars upon his pelt she does not question. Here is not the time and place for such matters, for they are with their children and all is well within the world. All is well within Asteraia, and the small family that had begun it all. |
