A sunny day.
Delfina near the pool.

Mark watched with a smile as Emily struggled in the pool.
Foxtaur vixen swam on the water, quickly raking with all four paws and slowly moving from one corner of the pool to another. Maybe it looked a little funny from the side, - but it still worked.

But then Mark turned his attention to his other wife.
Delfina sat on the edge of the pool with her feet in the water and looked around with an absent and reflective look. The man felt slightly concerned and, approaching, decided to find out if everything was okay.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Delfina answered with a slight smile.
"Just all this crowd in our home, friends, family, close people, loved ones... - For me, it still seems a little new and unreal.
- Although maybe I'm just happy.
But look at this beautiful sunny day today, so let's not think about sad things." Smiled the woman.

***
She looks a bit tan, - and this had some reasons.
By the way, she was born on Chakona, of Italian origin, but later she took a genetic test for surrogacy, and it came up that she had a lot of Arabian blood.
Mark was surprised, and Delfina too.
Sometimes you don't fully know your origin...

Done privately.
Seth commissioned Fell, and she drew this wonderful portrait. I really like Fell's style and this thoughtful and distant Delfina's look.
Thank you very much, Fell!
And thank you, Seth!
Made by Fell.  Fell

Also please note that my story is in the process of being written, and most of these small fragments that I published are not in chronological order.
(Chronology always was a real pain for me.) So when I finish my plans I will try to put everything in order. If I can...

The story and all characters belong to me  Marksan
The wonderful drawings and most of character desighn are kindly made for me by  sethtriggs For which I am very grateful for his help in portraying all this - because without his vision and pictures I would never have been able to tell this story. He really did a lot for me!

We still have "Tales of Chakona Discord for fans" - a cozy place where we usually gather. But after the recent ...flooding infestation, the rules were changed slightly. So ask around for an invite PM.
I am nice with talking to people. I swear. )))
