Ryssor
She was just silent for that - she didn't know whether she had it in her to take care of those kind of cubs. As much as she didn't want to turn like a caricature of her father, always expecting and forcing herself onto her kin, it was too hard to even think about being nice and motherly the whole time to cubs that wouldn't even be worth it.
She'd be a horrible mother.
And it was a shame because Nerante had all the making of a good father, and that just made her feel even more guilty.
"I fear for them, only because of myself." She mumbled, digging her muzzle into her paws.

NERANTE
[/i] He murmured, thinking about magic and healing. "Though it never hurt to pass down family secrets, and when my ma' finds out, she'll insist."[/ul][/blockquote] |

Ryssor
She didn't move much at the grooming - while she did enjoy it, just having the male close by, giving her attention that she didn't deserve just made her feel worse. Great mother? Yeah right. She wondered if she would ever tell him that she was planning at one point to deliberately miscarry them.
It would've been devastating, but she'd be happy to sacrifice a litter if it meant they wouldn't end up having a bad life with horrible parents.
But then she saw how happy her mate was. How thrilled and joyous and proud. The cubs sired with her was his only way out of his family's restrictive life. And that was what stopped her. There was that semblance of caring for him still under a selfish guise.
She gave a small huff of amusement. "One of them is going to have your little talents."

NERANTE
[/i] His voice trailed and he closed his eyes. The thought of having to teach his own son or daughter about their powers scared him.[/ul][/blockquote] |

Ryssor
Ryssor gave a small huff - she thought the lioness carrying the cubs was supposed to be the one who was melodramatic. But it was obvious what he had told her months ago still stood fresh in his mind; he knew how to raise the dead. Viciado had drummed that into his mind. It was obvious she wasn't teaching it for mere general knowledge.
There was something up with that family. Something she couldn't put her paw on. But Nerante knew. He knew fully well. And she wasn't going to stress them both out by prying into family business. "Hey," She mumbled, shrugging her shoulders. "Not my fault our kids are going to be magical."
That is, unless the cubs were Cocaine's. And if the Captain had an inch of magical abilities within himself, he didn't tell about it.

NERANTE
[/i] He gave her a swift lick to the top of her head and moved out of the den. "I'm going hunting, as I said I would. I'll be back shortly." He said and then went out to hunt. It didn't take long to hunt. It was just for Ryssor and himself. Three plump hares would do well for the time being, or so he hoped. He dropped them outside and sat down, head peeking in on Ry. "Three hares, nice ones too. Wanna come out to eat?"[/ul][/blockquote] |

Ryssor
All she gave was a little nod as Nerante left to go hunt. Suddenly she remembered their first hunt - her, Nerante and Balthier all were out on the fields and ganging up on a gazelle. She taught them both how to think fast and go hard. No doubt that Nerante would be putting those skills to use. Not that she liked to brag.. much, but Ryssor considered herself a good hunter.
She gave a heavy sigh and let her head rest on her paws. At least she was good at something.
It didn't take all that long for her to be lost in her thoughts, and suddenly the scent of blood was in the air as well as Nerante. Ears pricked up and she took a gaze as Nerante poked his head into the den. "Really?" She complained, getting to her paws. "You're making me go outside?"
As silly as it was, she was very self conscious of going outside and showing herself. She hadn't seen the Captain at all since their fling and if he suddenly appeared without warning and saw that she was showing.. it would be awkward.

NERANTE
[/i] Nerante said with a grin as she came outside. He nudged one of the more plump hares her way and then leaned down to begin tearing the fur away and plucking at the flesh. "If everyone had an appetite like me, they'd all be fat. Magic keeps me healthy though. I'm not sure how or why. One of life's great mysteries, I suppose." Nerante licked his lips and raised his head to Ry.[/ul][/blockquote] |
