Justice

Umi nods to Willow giving her and the pups some space as well. The golden dame then approaches Droplet with a chuckle “Oh please, I’m far from experienced. Just had a hunch.” She shrugged and rubbed past the brute with her shoulder playfully. Umi was now sitting upright in from of him, she gave a smirk rolling her ice blue optics “As for being good with pups, that was just a maternal moment.” Umi joked softly. “Although I wouldn’t mind a litter one day..” she smiled looking away from Droplet this time. A soft hue of pink graced her face, blushing again. This wasn’t like her, oh well.

Willow nodded “Finished actually.” The cream dame spoke as she detected herself from her now full bellied pups, standing with a stretch she gathered them in a small huddle.

Umi giggled softly at Droplet’s words, “In due time. And you a great father, though I’m already sure you are..” she trailed off hinting she knew about the brute’s other pups with Poker. Umi was never one to judge, she only hoped that she could be everything Droplet was looking for.

The golden dame soon stood hearing Willow say they were ready, carefully scooping Sundrop and Ame by their scruffs, Umi looked to the others. Willow picked up Tsunami leaving the quiet Leviathan for Droplet to carry.

Umi nodded to them as she begs to lead their group towards the long bridge. “Keep a sharp eye for bears, and even sharper where you step. The mist from the falls can even be slippery at night.” Umi spoke through the pups’ scruffs.

Umi sighed as her gaze was glued to the log where she stepped, but her audits constantly flicked and twitched about to be sure there wasn’t and foul play afoot. The two pups dangling from her maw were silent for the most part. Umi just wanted to get back to the pack at this point, thought she knew they couldn’t move as fast as they came with their additions to the group.

Willow was also quiet, her pup Tsunami squirmed every now and then, but not enough to hinder Willow. The cream pelted dame held her head high as her grey orbs watched the waterfall as they passed. Such beauty in a foul place. Willow returned her attention to her footing as she had not been this far out of the territory before.

(Yes we’re just on the log bridge which the enemy won’t cross)

Leviathan, the black female pup Droplet was carrying, opened her deep violet optics slightly. She as well as her other brothers and sister weren’t yet old enough to speak formal sentences, but could still talk in their own way. Leviathan understood the brute carrying her, so the dark pup sniffed the air “momma.” She simply said as her little tassel wagged.

Umi was still in the lead as she jumped off the log bridge. They had made it safely to the other side, she sighed in relief, Vendetta nor her crew would follow this far. Sundrop, the cream pup looked just like her mother Willow, opened her golden orbs a bit only to yawn out of boredom. Ame, a mixture of cream and black pup, opened his bright green orbs, they looked like Coal’s eyes. Ame remained silent but looked around him in awe at the nature.

Willow padded along in line in between Umi and Droplet. The mother carried Tsunami, Ame’s twin brother, but with grey orbs like his mother Willow The male pup’s opened his grey visionaries as he watched the tall trees around him ruffles in a breeze.

The night was giving way to dawn as the group had made some distance between them and Umi’s old home.

Leviathan narrows her violet gaze suspiciously upon Droplet’s words. The pup was unsure of what she was looking at, but wanted to do her best to answer “A big brown..fluffy rock, it’s wobbly. No a big wolf, but reaaally big.” Leviathan seemed satisfied with her final answer and proud too. The pup hadn’t seen much but the den walls, this was her, and her siblings, first time outside. Leviathan’s tiny tassel swayed as she hung from Droplet’s jowls.

Hearing the little conversation between Leviathan and Droplet, Umi chuckles, yet they were a little muffled from the two pups she carried in the lead. The golden dame eyed the horizon through the trees they were now surrounded by, sunrise was coming.
Sundrop huffed as she began to speak up “I’m tired.” She whined. ‘Yes they had stopped to rest a while back, but another stop wouldn’t hurt..’ Umi thought to herself halting her step and gently placing Sundrop and Ame on the grass, to which Ame protested with a whine. “We can stop for a bit, we’re making good time. Nothing too long though.” Umi stretched her limbs after speaking.

Willow nodded, gently placing Tsunami down as well. As soon as she did the male pup waddled to his twin Ame. Willow smiled at this, her little brutes were inseparable and they only way to tell the difference between them were their eyes.

Leviathan looked slightly disappointed only for a moment at how her answer was incorrect. The dark pup soon smiled innocently waddling over to her siblings.

Sundrop looked dully over to the approaching Leviathan, but smiled a bit when her sister sat by her. Tsunami and Ame were wrestling with each other playfully and Willow watched her pups peacefully.

Umi padded over to Droplet, “Shouldn’t be too long now..” the golden dame sat by her brute “A few days at most.” She smiled seeing the pups play.

Umi shook her head “It was once a wonderful place, don’t be sorry, it is no more what it use to be. White River will be their new home.” She smiled brightly

Willow yawned watching the sunrise. The pups still froliced about, Ame playfully growled at Tsunami whom had pinned his brother. Sundrop dully dug at the dirt beneath her cream little mits whilst her sister Leviathan sat proudly in the dent of earth Sundrop was digging encouraging her sister to dig faster.

Umi smiled warmly to Dropley. A slight sting of sadness for her past family was on her mind, but the golden dame was still hopeful. “Half an hour should be good enough.” Umi concluded. Her haunches relaxed as her audits remained alert. Umi kept watch while feeling comfortable by her mate and watching the pups play.

Umi sighed watching as Willow had rounded up her pups for a rest. The golden dame then turned her attention to Droplet as he began to move in his sleep. Umi looked puzzled as she figured her mate was having a bad dream. She nudged him a little unsure but wanting Droplet to be okay.
