Raschen stood with a plume of snow and the icy soil beneath it, huffing a soft white cloud. His ears flicked slowly as he listened to the winds, gaiging their strength and direction, eyes wandering to the Northern mountains where the true winter would be approaching from. He sighed heavily, so worried for his Taryn and their little ones. His eyes darted around, finding the memory of this place without snow to be sure of its safety for travel. When he was certain he tapped his paw, a small earthen pillar rising a foot or so above the snow to mark the next point in their path toward the camps. Past this point the valley was exited into the dunes of the Kyote territories and then the Plains of the Kuguar and Hase.  He nodded when he was certain of their plan for movement and closed his eyes, the vine-like scars coursing over his skin flashing green as he summoned his magicks and disappeared beneath the soil.<br/><br/>As he traveled beneath the earth he felt the vibrations of the world around him. He felt so in tune with the gift the earth goddess had given him when he traveled this way. His earthen form's ear's flicked at the sound of Taryn's voice. Why was she outisde!? He grunted and sped his traversion between the end of the valley and their camp.<br/><br/>Jax was the first to feel him coming, having been sure to learn the Kuguar's ways soon after finding he was a Talent. His long ears flicked and he looked up to Taryn from his seat near the fire.<br/><br/>"Looks like you're in trouble" He playfully called to her in a childish sing-song before the soil beneath Taryn's feet shook, pluming skyward in front of her, soil rising up in a swift spiral.<br/><br/>Those who didn't blink would witness the earth they stood on give birth to the Kuguar in a flash of energy, his scars glowing softly as the soil solidified to produce him before her, his bright green eyes staring down at her.<br/><br/>"And what do you think you're doing out of the tent so early, you'll catch your death" He muttered with a huff. The sun had only just peaked the horizon, having been given no chance to at least somewhat warm the air before they began their trek once more.<br/><br/>Lily could be heard giggling at how doting the Kuguar had become after recieving knowledge of his fatherhood,slipping past them to her future mate's side and nudging him playfully with her hip and flicking her puffy tail against the kneeling Hase's ear. She sighed blissfully as she watched them banter over Taryn's Status.<br/><br/>"Those cubs will be in wonderful hands with a father so iron willed and a mother so tenacious.." She murmured softly to him as she kneeled beside him to help him with their morning meal. Her delicate fur had swiftly grown, only making Jax's condition near her all the worse as her collar plume gently framed her forever nursing chest, softwening her sides and hips into wide inviting curves. She would soon be in season and the precursors to this were already meeting Jax's nose on the morning breeze. Her lovely personal scent of honey's and spice with splashes of heavy pheramone.<br/><br/>She glanced to him, seeing the flame in his eye. "wh..what? " she muttered. She knew all too well she was soon to enter estrus for the season but she had hoped to hide this from her mate-to be with her collection of herbs used as perfume. She knew he wished to wait until they could return. She had to look away with a crimson reaching her cheeks.<br/><br/>Raschen Sighed softly as he felt her. "Well you do feel warmer, maybe the hides are doing the job.." he muttered, unknowing of the effects of beaskin children born to a Hume mother. There had been rumors such a union would kill the mothwer but Raschen would push any such thought from his mind. Taryn was strong. She would carry them with grace. he knew this to be true. He sighed softly.<br/><br/>"If you truly feel well enough.." he mutters and nuzzles her cheek with his muzzle before joining the group to eat.
