Karma sat by Lilith, nosing her ear lightly. "How's the leg?" he asked, ocean blue eyes drawn to the newly revealed appendage with fascination. Surely it wasn't healed yet?
Lilith laughed. "It doesn't need the brace anymore, but I need to be careful on it. Which means no hunting for me," she told him, a bit of disappointment in her voice.
Karma frowned. "Well, I was going to go hunting just now, maybe you could come along and coach me? I'm not the best hunter but I want a nice fur laid down for the pups."
Lilith's eyes brightened. "Oh yeah, you and Madeline are expecting. How soon do you think they'll arrive?" she asked. Come to think of it, it seemed Madeline and Soul conceived around the same time.
Karma got a smiley, dazed look in his eyes. "Not long now, no more than a few days for sure," he said softly, getting lost in his thoughts. He shook his head. "Which is why I need to hunt now. Madeline doesn't let on but I'm sure she gets hungry, and I want to have everything ready."
Lilith smiled and stood, favoring her injured leg but keeping it down. "What are we waiting for then? Let's do some hunting before the poor girl starves." She flicked Karma's nose teasingly before setting off. The limp in her run was obvious but she was still silent as ever.
Karma followed, his gallumphing pace shushed by Lilith as she turned to give him a warning look. He looked where his paws were going, trying to navigate around rocks and roots and leaves as she did, but this only caused more confusion and noise, along with slowing.
