It had been months now and so much has happened since Haruki's new disappearance. He had been gone once before and found his way back, and so Reiko was certain he could do it again if he wanted to. Though a mother couldn't help but wonder for the safety of her first born son, twin brother to last of her first litter and only coming from the once great Izuka clan.
Though their past would be left buried with the terrible memories that accompanied them, the sorrow she felt at losing family once more weighed heavily even with the new children she had brought to Shiroshika with Quicksilver's aid. There was never any replacing a lost son, only remembering and mourning whenever possible. Not enough to take the woman away from her duties as mother, wife and Empress - but enough to honour someone who's presence is left unknown.
Once the new puppies were old enough to be left a little while without her, she would leave their care with @Quicksilver without her for the first time in weeks. An action that took time for her to do like velcro peeling from its counterpart. She'd tuck them in, ensure they all ate, each of their heads were licked and her husband kissed before she left to wander the perimeter of the Pass with a single desire. A few short trips out of the nesting den over the past few days, she had collected a few items - trinkets, stones of value that seemed like something Quicksilver would enjoy. Most of all, the ones who glimmered in the light (optical calcite, amethyst, quartz and moonstones). Anything that reflected the sun or moon's light would do.
She spent most of the day carrying them back and fourth, finding new ones to add to the pile around the base of the pillars.
