Chi couldn't remember the last time she had groomed someone; her children not counting. She had never been this close to Hemp, as he seemed so skittish when it came to close contact; she still wondered why that was. Olaf wasn't like her spotted friend though she noted when he began to clean her own coat. This was natural herd behavior and interaction, and despite her past with her bald faced counterpart, Chi had to admit she missed being taken care of.

After a while she quits grooming him, laying her head across his back with a sigh. While everything may seem fine at last Chi can't help that nagging thought in the back of her mind that she was struggling to contain and keep quiet. It had driven her crazy for many seasons, and having Olaf with her again only made her thoughts worse.

"Where's our daughter Olaf?", she finally decides to take the chance and ask, wanting to put her worry at ease and move on. If it were her other children she probably wouldn't worry as much, but this little girl (obviously she isn't little anymore but in Chi's mind she always would be), had been her firstborn. Her first child was so very important to her and it hurt that she barely had the chance to know her. She turns her face his way, not lifting her head from it's comfortable perch.

"I deserve to know," she softly adds, just in case he was deciding not to tell her so she wouldn't be angry. Chianti didn't have a mean bone in her body which is why she wasn't yelling and demanding all this from him. You don't always have to bully your way to the truth, she tells her herself, her one brown eye watching him closely.
