A quick unfinished doodle of puppy Batcher and toddler Brutess. When Brutess was very little (1-3 years old ish), Hemlock would take her down to feed the hounds on Tantiss. She absolutely loves animals. Unfortunately, that led to an easy and effective form of punishment for her when she got older. However, I made the executive decision that Lurca hounds live a similar lifespan to humans, and therefore Batcher was one of the puppies that Brutess got to help feed as a youngling. Which would also mean that once the Batch settles on Pabu, Brutess finally gets to keep her pet permanently without the threat of time or any person taking the hound away from her.
