{ooc;} a continuation of this thread if you guys want/are okay with that? I figured it'd make a good segway to this lol. also figured tovek has been carrying thor around/lookin after him while zelie carries neph, since she can't rly carry both babies at once?

with Seto's help, she's able to walk. her steps are... uneven, and slow, but at least she's walking. it's progress, right? little Nephele is held carefully between massive jaws, the giantess eternally gentle with her children. she can only hope Tovek is being equally as careful with Thor, though she has every confidence he's treating the babe like he's made of spun glass.

low chuffs rumble in her chest, calling for her... co-parent? partner? man, she really needs to sit down with him and iron out the parameters of their relationship. the lack of clarity is beginning to give her a headache, which is the last thing she needs on top of her sight's slow decline. soon, she'll have to sit down with the entire family, and explain what's happening to her.

soon, but not yet. not... not tonight.
