"How am I doing?" she asked unsure of herself. "I'm not quite used to this mum thing. I guess most creatures get to learn to be a wife first. It's not easy to learn both at the same time." She sighed, "I'm doing the best I can."

Ronan kissed her cheek softly. You're doing just fine, Love. You're doing absolutely wonderfully. Juan really loves you. I can tell he does. I do too, come to that. He grinned as he said this and squeezed her paw lovingly.

"Thanks," she leaned towards him, wishing once again that they were truly alone but hearing Juan coming up behind her. She sighed, and gave Ronan a look of longing before turning to face the little one. "So, healer, what did you find?"

Elthia bent down to inspect the kitt's offering. "These are exactly what we need." She specificity said 'we' instead of 'I' to include him in the process. She would also let him help her to crush them for the broth when they got back to the abbey. "They'll help lots of creatures to stay healthy and strong."

Elthia took the leaves and carefully added them to those she had already collected. Then she began to pack up the things they had used for their meal. "Shall we get going again then?" She pulled the bag back on her shoulder and waited for the other two to get ready to move on.

Both of the otters nodded and stood up also. Ronan picked Juan up gently and carefully set him on his shoulders. Juan clung to his new father's back like a tiny spider and giggled happily as he looked around at everything curiously.

Kal sat in an upper branch. He loved watching families spend time with each other. Family was the most important thing to him, even honor ranked below family in his book. This family seemed to have some awkward moments, true, but all families do. Kal decided to keep following the family an continue watching them.

Elthia led the way up the well worn path. She'd been this way lots of times going back and forth from her old home, the place she grew up, at Camp Willow to her new home at the Abbey. She realized then that she did truly think of the Abbey as home now. She had a lot of fond memories of the camp but the Abbey held so much more for her especially now as it was the place where Ronan and Juan also called home.

Ronan followed her happily through the trees. After awhile, Juan scampered off into the trees and ran though the branches as easily as if her were a squirrel who'd lived in trees his whole life. Ronan watched vervously as he ran, but the tiny otter just giggled happily and kept running.

At first Elthia thought is was cute when the little dibbun ran ahead of them so excitedly but it made her nervous when he was out of her sight. "Ronan," she exclaimed worriedly. "Where's he going? Can you see him? He's never been in the woods before. We've got to find him!"

The tiny otter giggled silently and leapt from the tree onto Ronan's head. Ronan laughed and tickled his sides fondly, catching him as he fell forward. He's fine, Love. I got him right here.

Elthia looked at the two of them, perturbed at their flippancy. So this was what it was like to be a mother. She knew then and there that she would be worried about Juan every moment for the rest of her life. She breathed a sigh of relief that this time her worries were groundless but what about next time and the next. She couldn't think about it she'd drive herself crazy.

They both smiled innocently and kissed her cheeks. Juan wrapped his little arms around her in a hug and wagged his tail happily. I loves yous, Mommy. Mes sorrys I mades yous worrieds. Mes won'ts runs offs agains.
