By the time they burst through the brush that lines their garden, their paws are sore with the bite of autumn chill. It is not the same great journey they'd waste a stretch of days upon before the arrival of their children but it is still a long one after so many moons spent lounging in the peace and warmth of fresh motherhood. Most of their time had belonged to cuddles, the sink of gum-broken teeth into their fur and a barrage of questions equivalent to a flurry of blows.
Not today. Today, they'd wandered out towards those towering pine trees to acquaint themself with those who lingered just beyond the alleys, those who made neighbors of a love held at an annoying but manageable distance. (Hopefully another visit was in short order, though they feared after the inferno maybe that would become less frequent). It's no surprise that four, round, owlish eyes loom in the shadow of furniture that towers them.... as they clamber down into the stony floors of their Twoleg's fresh-kill room.
"Hello, starlight, how was your nap?" They reach to press their nose to the plush furs at the base of tiny, pointed ears, sat at alert or folded in anger maybe that their mother had left them in their sleep. "Have you been awake long?"
