Welcome to Gaia! ::

Swallow had felt a happy glow when she found out she was pregnant. Family was important to her, and her family, so additions were always a welcomed thing. This, was one of those things that would never not be a welcomed thing.

Still, she wanted to ensure that the ones she carried got started with a good hoof forward, as it were. So, here she was, searching.

She saw the foxbun running by, and she paused a moment, searching around her instinctively, to ensure there was no danger coming towards her, and merely something after the small animal. Seeing the arrival of the stag and his hounds, she could see why the foxbun was running.

That question though! It was an unexpected surprise, but she didn't hesitate in her answer. "It means to teach the good and bad in life. To protect as able, but encourage them to defend and not rely solely on others. It means family most of all, and sticking by them no matter what, because nothing is more important than family. It means continuing the family, growing and strengthening the bonds of it."

It was simply how it was to her family.

The words washed over her, and made her smile as a content feeling came over her. "Thank you." it was a wonderful blessing to get for the new life she was carrying, really.

Her head bowed to the stag, moving away from him and the hounds so they could continue on their way to wherever they were going.
