Eyelids flickered with the occasional, rapid blink as Tanya otherwise stared blankly in the face of the doe’s verbosity. Oh, she was a talker. In truth there were several interesting facets the former Admiral took interest in – particularly when it came to smaller engineering, for her own...

Tanya merely nodded in understanding as her niece explained her interests. That she butchered the pronunciation of sommelier felt an echo of her first seasons in the city. Alright, that might have been unfair on Mina Rose: she hadn’t even known what a sommelier was. Music was an interest and she...

Beasts were beginning to assemble and for the moment the diminutive vixen was content to wait a few moments and see just what manner of crew would show. There was a general air of discomfort as response to her request within which she both empathised and, in some small way, enjoyed: it was...

She had been picking her battles. Already exhausted and battered from the altercation with Sean, Tanya had not fancied throwing herself into the dray as poorly armed as she was; neither did her conscience permit her simply hide or consider leaving, knowing as she did how many beasts important to...

A gentle ‘oof’ escaped the vixen, mildly startled by the speed and ease with which the marten so gracefully scooped her into an embrace. It was ridiculous to feel such, really, given his size and the fact her youngest was predisposed to indulging in similar hugs, if only to tease or prevent her...

The youngster’s enthusiasm proved infectious. As many misgivings as Tanya might possess about every possible outcome for this vixen, it was difficult to let herself fall victim to the threat of the future after seeing her smile. In this moment she was vibrant and full of potential, a world away...

Oblivious to the white smudge on her nosetip, Tanya arched a brow as her husband gave his reply. It was suitably evasive, but under the circumstances she could hardly begrudge him a secret of his own, and whatever mischief he’d gotten up to was no doubt well-considered. Of the two of them he...

Of all the gifts time had bestowed, a true sense of maturity had yet to catch up with Tanya. Whilst Eirene was occupied speaking in stern tones, she took the opportunity to use the smallest claw on her little pawfinger as a means, by gesture, of answering Asta before tugging at her tunic as...

Of all the varied titles and roles assigned to her over a long and storied career, mother had been and would remain her greatest achievement. Without even knowing it there came a flicker of caution in her eyes, a protective guardedness. It was an innocuous question, she had to remind herself...

Once again the intensity of emotional response caught the vixen off-guard and for a moment panic flared that she had said the wrong thing. Hers had been a life of suppression and avoidance: anything outside of anger was to be locked away, rarely displayed lest it be seized upon as weakness. It...

It felt like a lifetime since she’d seen such wonder at the name of the Harbour, and yet she had seen it in Kinza only a pawful of seasons past. She could not fault the legend: even in decades past the reputation of the city itself had drawn even her fascination as a youngster. How she had come...

“Your ma’s a wise fox” Tanya laughed, tailbrush curling slightly. Amusement was evident in her countenance, though something fierce flickered just beneath: protective wrath. Whilst she was keen not to impinge on the youngster’s freedoms once let loose on the city there existed more than enough...

Mid-morning breeze blew fresh and stiff from the lively oceans to enact its mischief upon the harbour and ships at anchor there. Playfully tugging thick greased ropes astray and billowing unattended canvas in the paws of hapless new recruits, it looked to be a day of pleasant but lively weather...

Much though instinct begged Tanya to sweep the girl into an embrace and offer quiet reassurances, try and reassure her that things would all be well, she made no move to do such. Her own gaze turned back to the ocean, giving Mina Rose the space to absorb the bombshell which had just been dropped...

Mileya. Tanya hastened to recall to mind what Dusk had mentioned of the vixen. “…our representative in Amarone - 'Gates, she's the spitting image of Armina now, it's disconcerting sometimes to see her, I keep forgetting she's adopted and not Armina's own blood.” Already she could feel a prickle...
