RotLC 011: Walking

Author’s Note: N/A

Disclaimer: Eira, her family, and all associated characters are mine but they are playing the sandbox created by the comic Hurrocks Fardel, now available on WebToons (it’s catching up to where we were, old pages are being redone so it is a consistent look). Whether any of this ends up canon depends entirely on the artist, but I’ll try to be consistent with what information they have provided. ^_^

It was getting past the time where Eira was allowed up anyway—the adults did special things during the summer solstice that she wasn’t supposed to see yet. Oline told the parents that she’d take Eira to bed, which Egor agreed to before Senta could protest. 

It was a clear night, making Eira wish she had a swanskin already. She wanted to fly. 

Oline swung their hands between them in a mimicry of children games. “Alright, snowflake. How are things going?” 

Eira tilted her head back in thought. “There’s two new lambs. Twins.” 

“And a baby swan,” Auntie prompted gently.
