Akando huffed softly with amusement. "Not to assume in a rude manner," he murmured teasingly, "but wouldn't the mention of snuggling at this time of year be code word for..?" He flattened his ears slightly, growing serious again. "Not that I would object. I-I've actually been thinking... since my condition can worsen, to the point of life-threatening... you never know if I might.. not have much time left.."
Hazel was sitting and leaning against the wall of the elders' den, her sandy-colored pelt twitching irritably even as she watched Claw sniff around the den for what was probably the hundredth time today. The old she-wolf Fern had promised that Hazel and her pups could finally move to the nursery soon, but even though there was a fresh nest waiting for her in there, one of the she-wolves' sudden labor had delayed the actual move. Now Hazel was still stuck in the elders' den, waiting impatiently but surprisingly with fewer complaints than usual - even though she felt half-frozen in this drafty cave.

Cricket had let go as the stag fell, panting lightly as she watched Frost. Not noticing how bothered he seemed by all of this, so she went back in. Standing over the deer and roughly biting and pulling at it's neck to try and get it to bleed.
Styx stopped upon reaching the warriors' den. "And this is the warriors' den, where I normally sleep." He explained to the pups.
Eos sniffed the air curiously and approached the den, barely sticking her muzzle inside.

Frost scrambled to his paws after a minute, panting and trembling. "Did... did we get it?" He woofed, nervously eyeing the dying stag.
Sky watched the pups amusedly, while Callista poked her head into the den, giggling. "Daddy sleeps in the big den!" She yapped.
Blaze, who had almost fallen sleep, jerked back awake with a brief, annoyed growl, staring around warily.

Iceberg nosed close to him and nuzzled him. "If you want to put another litter of pups in my belly then who am I to object?" She woofed softly, nuzzling his chin.
Alder was lazily watching her brother while Leaf pawed at a bug absentmindedly.

Cricket nodded slowly, panting softly as she tried to catch her breath. (Ivy, I have a concern about how they hunt deer. )
Altair joined his siblings and looked inside curiously. "It's huge!" He woofed in awe.
Eos kept looking around the den curiously.

( mike Is Stormy gonna be okay with everyone coming back to the nursery soon? o-o) "Well, you have a say in it too." Akando pointed out gently, his ears pinning back. "I just thought I'd bring it up, now with mating season..." Frowning sadly, he added in hardly more than a whisper, "And... my lungs aren't doing so well, even though the weather should be warming up soon... Call me neurotic, but.. I fear that this spring might be my last chance to sire pups." Hazel yawned, grumbling under her breath about the chill in the den even as Claw padded over and sat down between her paws.

He woofed in awe. Eos kept looking around the den curiously. (It's Frost, of course he sucks at hunting deer ;~; ) Frost sighed with relief, sitting back on his haunches to let himself reel more. The bruise on his cheek from the deer's kick had stopped bleeding, but the young male's jaws felt sore. "It's the hugest den in camp!" Callista yapped, tensing in surprise when she noticed a narrowed pair of amber eyes staring over at her and her siblings. "Ooh, look!" She added to her siblings, pointing her ears in the direction of Blaze's nest. "A warrior!" Sky wagged her tail, chuckling amusedly.

She smiled and licked him repeatedly and lovingly. "Then let's make the most of it." She woofed as she nuzzled his neck. "Let's make one more litter together." She woofed softly into his ear, rubbing her body on him.

Alder barked softly and trotted over to her brother, soon followed by Leaf.

( No, it's that wolves hunt deer by biting their hindquarters which makes them bleed out while being chased however far. ) ( And with Stormy, yes. )
Cricket narrowed her eyes. "How is your head feeling?" She asked curiously, remembering that he had been kicked and there was drying blood on Frost's head.
Styx watched the pups for a moment. "Alright let's move on now, we don't want to bother the warriors." He woofed, knowing from experience that loud pups in the den were generally an annoyance.

(@tobster100 Alright, so should Bluebell announce the nursery's open, or?? c'x)
Akando nodded softly and nuzzled the top of Iceberg's head. "Okay, let's go someplace more private though." He whispered before slowly getting to his paws.
Claw yawned and glanced around as he curled up where he was.
"My head's okay.. Er, not whirlng anymore.." Frost muttered, his ears pinning tightly against his head. "It's mainly my jaw that's sore."
"But we haven't sniffed the nests yet!" Callista whined pleadingly, causing Sky to flatten her ears uncertainly.

Iceberg smiled and got up too and rubbed against him as they walked together, lovingly nuzzling her and growling happily.

Akando headed out of camp, bracing himself against the chilly air, and approached the nearest adequate hiding spot.

Iceberg woofed happily and followed him and then laid down in front of him and smiled up at him, her scent drift up to him, also carrying her heat as well.

Akando whined softly and pressed his muzzle against the back of Iceberg's neck. For all he knew, this could be his last time. He wanted to make it count.
(Skip? cx)

Ya))
Later, Iceberg was laying beside her mate, smuggled into his fur and panting heavily and happily, eyes closed contentedly. She nuzzled her mate on his neck and rumbled happily. "Wow..." She breathed.

Cricket padded up to Frost and gently sniffed his wound. "You should probably see Bluebell when we get back, just in case." She advised out of concern for her friend.
"It's probably best that you on't sniff the nests, now come along Callista." Styx sighed, not wanting them to get snapped at for being curious.
Stormy was curled up in her nest, clearly exhausted but no longer in shock. Flicking her ears in acknowledgment of the senior medicine wolf as she quietly listened to the whimpers and squeaks of her tiny newborns as the wiggled against her belly fur.

Akando, curled gently around Iceberg, was panting especially heavily, letting out a huff of "Yep." before coughing a few times. His lungs were tight and sensitive due to the energy spent, but that of course didn't mean the mostly black male regretted this experience with his mate.

"It's probably best that you on't sniff the nests, now come along Callista." Styx sighed, not wanting them to get snapped at for being curious. Frost sighed and nodded, still trying to catch his breath. "We're gonna have to..." he muttered between pants, "drag that thing.. all the way back... to camp, aren't we?" Sky nuzzled Callista comfortingly as the she-pup backed out of the den, putting on a pouty face.

Walking up to her, Bluebell sat beside her and watched the pups. "Hello Stormy. I was wondering if it would be okay if the new family moved in here." She woofed.
Iceberg nuzzled her mate and tried to help him with his breathing. "Are you okay Akando? Can you breath?"

Cricket looked down at the stag before nodding. "Yeah, unless you want to try and find some other prey to take back then see if anyone is willing to help drag it back?" She suggested. Unsure that she would make much of a difference dragging it back with her small size.
"Now where are we going?" Altair asked curiously, bouncing on his small paws excitedly.
Stormy flattened her ears, remembering the wolves who had been staying with the pack who were supposed to come into the nursery earlier, only to be stopped because of her. "Oh, yes that would be fine." She woofed softly with a small sigh.

Akando nodded, coughing a couple more times and starting to finally catch his breath.
Frost sighed and padded over to the stag, starting to work his shoulders underneath its neck. "There's probably gonna be a feast tonight." He woofed half to himself as he waited for Cricket to grab the other end of the prey.
Sky was now looking around camp uncertainly. "The medicine wolves are still busy, I think." She noted aloud. "I'm not sure what the Alphas are up to, but seeing as they're busy a lot of the time..." She looked back at Styx and shrugged.

(Tob..? Bluebell should probably let everyone in camp know first so all the mother-wolves and pups and visitors can go on in. And I said I was gonna have someone escort Hazel after the announcement o-o Sorry for the confusion..)
Akando sighed with relief and nuzzled Iceberg's neck gently.

Iceberg smiled and nuzzled his neck softly. "Akando... I love you a lot."
