Author’s Note: Late post is late because DnD and then a local event that was not fun or funny. Should be back on track now though!

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. ^_^

Senta’s back stiffened up, and she clutched Iren closer to her until the baby whimpered. “It isn’t safe out there,” she insisted.

Oline tilted her head. “She doesn’t have a skin to steal yet,” she pointed out the first thing she could think of.

“She’s still a baby!” The look on Senta’s face was more mule than swan.
