Kolia heard the weasel entering the tent but she didn't look up at him right away. She was too enchanted by her sons. "What do you think, Roasky? We did a pretty good job with 'em, eh?" she asked wearily. "I thought we'd name them Little Roasky," she pointed to Lightning who was now sleeping peacefully, "and Redak after my da," she gently touched Thunder's cheek. This got his sucking reflex going and he turned his head and latched on to her finger sucking noisily. Kolia laughed quietly, "He's a hungry one."

Sergei, who was quite frankly feeling guilty about the lie he led at that current moment in time, tried to sound as he imagined this Roask character sounded. "Heh. Yep." Having said tat, and afriad of being noticed, he just sat and looked at the twins, somewhat in a daze.

Kolia froze at the sound of his voice. It wasn't the tone or the sound of the voice that was so upsetting but instead the shortness of the answer. Roask always had something to say. He wasn't eloquent but he liked the sound of his own voice. If this weasel was Roask he would have had a thing or two to say about his son taking his name. But if this weasel wasn't Roask who was he and where was Roask. Maybe it was as she feared. Maybe Roask was dead. Maybe the wound she had given him had killed him. She didn't turn around she just spoke slowly with a little of her fear evident in the words, "So, you like the names I've chosen?" She hoped her fear had been for naught. Maybe Roask was just speechless, seeing his sons for the first time.

Sergei seemed to sense her fear, and of course his own at being discovered, so he tried to talk more to convinve them both that he was Roask. "Oh, certainly. The names fit then excellently. Lightning, and Thunder..." Sergei even pulled a fake smile as he looked upon Kolia and the twins. He hated lying to Kolia...

Kolia turned slowly and as she did she spoke. "But I mean Roask and Redak, their real names." She was facing him now and there was no doubt in her mind that this was not Roask. "They're named after my dead father and . . . their's." It was pretty clear that she was inferring that the father of the twins was dead. If he wasn't sitting here in front of her, where else would he be?

Sergei sighed, lowering his head. Well, the ill-advised spur-of-the-moment ruse was up. Shame hung on his features. Why did he even go along with that...? He just sat there in silence for a moment.
((Someone else's turn to post...?))

Kolia didn't blame this weasel for anything. In fact, she thought it was sweet that he had tried to come in and make her feel better. She smiled sadly at him. Then she turned back to the twins. "Looks like we still have to find your daddy. Don't worry, we will find him." Kolia was exhausted but she couldn't see any point in staying around here while Roask was still out there somewhere. She picked up a small shawl-like blanket and tied the corners around the back of her neck. It made a kind of a sling that hung in front of her chest. She placed first Lightning and then Thunder into the sling and made sure that they were snug and comfortable. Then she tried painfully to stand. She would make a point of thanking the vixen Taure and then she would be on her way.

Taure heard her try to get up and frowned reprovingly. You shouldn't be up and moving so soon after giving birth, child. Especially after having twins. It's not good for your health. You need to rest.

Kolia was feeling pretty dizzy having just risen to her footpaws for the first time after giving birth, but she was also not used to being told what to do. Oh she had taken orders from Roask as a superior officer when she was his second in command but she wasn't about to do what this vixen told her to do. "Look I appreciate everything you've done for me, for us, but I still need to find Roask. I don't have anytime to waste." She tried to take a step but found her legs wouldn't support her weight and she tipped towards the counterfeit Roask.

Taure leapt up and steadied her carefully. Just rest for one day, that's all I ask. It's for your own good, believe me. You're still to weak and tired to travel today. You can leave tomorrow if you really want to, you should be fine by then.

Kolia sat back down, knowing that the vixen was right but still not wanting to give in to her own weakness. Her emotional state that had been on edge all day suddenly took over and she burst into tears. She was tired and hungry, and she loved her sons like crazy and she missed Roask, really missed his company, and she wished he could have been here to see his sons come into the world.

Moonlight shivered. He looked outside of the cart. The rain had changed from rain into snow. He was delighted. Moonlight loved snow and winter. "Hey Batou!" he shouted. "Catch!" he said as he hurled a snowball at the back of his head.

Sergei, who was moving to hold Kolia up as well when she stumbled, frowned first at her determination beyond reasoning, then deeper as she burst into tears. Well, that was to be expected. The weaselmaid clearly had it rough. As his own mother had been...
