“He does.” Dash nodded in agreement. “And the universe asks even more of him.”
“Why do we even bother trying?” Swiftpaw bowed his head and stared at his forefeet. “Nobody has won.”
“Why?” Serenity shifted to look back at the tiger and fox. “Because it is in our nature to serve our master, whether it is instinct or another force. Our nature is to live any way possible and hopefully have kits, … or see our master have kits.” Dash’s ears twitched and he sighed at Serenity’s words. Swiftpaw lifted his muzzle, but said nothing. His eyes said volumes more in weariness at what he had seen and the hopelessness he was currently wallowing in.

This is so very touching. Ah Serenity has hit the nail on the head. I think you have captured the emotions incredibly well there, Tiff.

I hate to be the one to point it out, but there is a spelling error in the first panel.

The Unverse – seems appropriate for this strip somehow.

If Lexx were under a lot less stress and listening to this, he’d probably get one of those embarrassed eye-twitches and wonder why they’re talking about babies.

Fun fact: African Wild Dogs are the only animal that after making a kill lets the cubs eat before they do.

I sense Stealth may have something to say about that…

Ah Serenity, a heart purer than the purest of gold.

Serenity is such a sweetheart, but I would never, ever want to be anywhere near any of her kits. The most tender of mothers often conceals the sharpest claws.
