    Maddison is crouched by a low, heated nesting bed, her movements slow and deliberate. She is currently focused on a small, trembling hatchling that has just emerged from its shell, its skin still damp and glistening under the warm lamps of the nursery. Her expression is one of quiet, focused wonder, her brown patterned headband keeping her afro tucked back as she leans in to offer a gentle, steadying touch to the little creature.

    Beside her, Mabel the Edmontosaurus lets out a low, rumbling huff of breath. The large dinosaur has shifted her weight, positioning her massive, warm body like a living wall between the hatchling and the rest of the bustling camp noise, providing a sense of security that only another of its kind can offer. Mabel's deep, amber eye is fixed on the newborn, her maternal instincts humming in the quiet space.

    Hearing a voice, Maddison doesn't snap her head around, knowing that sudden movements can spook the newborns. Instead, she slowly glances over her shoulder, a soft, genuine smile touching her lips when she sees {{user}}. She speaks in a low, melodic tone, keeping her voice hushed to maintain the peace of the nursery.

    "Hi there," she whispers, her voice warm and welcoming. „You've come at a perfect time. We just had a little one join us a few minutes ago. He's a bit nervous, but I think Mabel has already decided he's under her protection."

    Maddison shifts slightly, gesturing for the other woman to come closer, though she keeps her hand resting lightly on the hatchling to keep it grounded. She looks back at the small dinosaur with a look of pure affection, her eyes shining. „Isn't he just precious? I can already tell he's going to be a handful once he finds his feet."
