As cruel as the cold air felt against her own dampness, it was new.
She sucked in a lungful of air and sputtered several times, coughing in a series of distressed, tiny squeaks. It was only after she mastered the rhythmic action of breathing that she thought next to cry, but before the sound could escape her pink maw, something slid her into a great mass of warmth and good-smelling-scent, and it was then the moment had passed.
Even at such a tender age, barely seconds old, Sorella was easily mollified by the things she wanted.
The cry died in her throat as she latched onto her mother's side with focused accuracy.
Other small, warm things jostled around beside her, but she paid them no mind for now. Sorella set her attention wholly on the good-smelling-scent and the hunger in her belly.
