((Yeah, sounds fine. You could probably give them sharpened nails as well, or claws. For Morning's extra fuzz...maybe just make him have a particular lot of body hair, such as chest, back, legs and arms. He can get waxed in one of the beauty shops. Lol. That'd be interesting.
As for extra little details, well Midnight's necklace with teeth and claws on it is good. Maybe they could wear bear jewellery or tattoos. For instance, a tattoo of a panda somewhere on Morning's body, or a tattoo of a bear on Midnight. Or carry a bear shaped carving, something like that. Wearing bear or panda pelts could also happen, tho I don't condone killing of endangered wild animals, it's just an RP so it should be fine))
Riven looked at the baby in Midnight's arms, wearing an enchanted smile as she played with his finger. He looked at Dawn making a mess with the puddle, splashing muddy water around, and at Dusk, leaning over to take a better look at him. He gently pried Noon's little fingers off and smiled "Well, they are all very cute, if I do say so myself. It's a joy to have them in the village", he said, dodging out of the way of the splashing puddle water. "They certainly ought to liven things up around the place"
Riven nodded at Morning's reply. "Okay then. I'll let my mum know you're coming. Her name's Flora. She's a short lady with long cream, curly hair. Do you need directions to my house? It's the one near the sheep paddocks and the vegetable gardens" he explained, before checking the long shopping list his mother had given him "Anyway, I had better get going.Time waits for no one! Have fun looking around the markets. There's a lot of different shops and stalls that the kids would probably like" he waved then and trotted off, shopping list in hand. His hooves left little cleft hoofmarks in the wet path and the grass, his tail wagging happily where it popped out the back of his kilt.

Bess meanwhile, was helping M'rala at the clinic. She had been sent to procure more bandages from the village weavers.

(Can Dawn and Dusk walk already? The other day when it was storming they could only crawl. I'm gonna just chalk it up to faster development from werebear DNA)
As the family walked into the shopping area of the village, they got all sorts of stares and looks. Most of the other tribe members weren't as happy to see them as Riven and his mother's friends were. Whispering and mutterings traveled around the shoppers and stall owners. One lady saw the babies coming and hung up her 'closed' sign "Closed for break!" she said curtly, dismissing them as they walked by.
A lot of people were nervous or looked scared. "Meat eaters!" someone hissed, with scorn and distaste.
Champagne the Palomino centaur pranced about skittishly on her hooves and tried to hide behind her racks of hoofed tribe clothes.
A mother pulled her child away from the werebear cubs and picked her up, hurrying off with the kid in her arms. "We don't play with carnivores" she told her child firmly.
Bess was at the weaver's stall, choosing rolls of bandages and other dressings and adding them to her basket. Her fingers and hands were stained from purplum pods and were rather numb, which made her fingers slow and clumsy. She dropped a bandage roll and it landed in a puddle. The shop owner tsked at her. Bess looked a bit embarrassed "Sorry" she cringed, smiling apologetically. She knew it took a while to make the cloth.
Riven bought some lollipops from one of the stalls. He wandered around until he found Morning and Midnight, who were walking in a space of their own since everyone got out of the way and avoided them like the plague. The sheep fawn looked confused as he looked around them and then shrugged "Hey everyone. I was buying some sweets for the lolly jar at home and I thought these lollipops would be a nice treat for three babies. I don't know if they have teeth yet so I got something they can suck on. Red, Green and Blue" he held out the lollies on sticks, smiling at the babies.

Riven peered at Morning's mouth as he spoke, and gulped at the rows of sharp teeth he sported. He took a tentative step back, which simply looked like he was trying to regain his balance on the damp and uneven grass. "You don't say!" he exclaimed, a little shaky. He tried to peek inside the babies' mouths as the lollipops were distributed and indeed saw some pointy sets of little teeth to match their parents'. He giggled a bit nervously. "Oh well, I'm sure they wouldn't nibble on anyone, unless they're teething, in which case, all babies do that" he hefted the shopping basket he was carrying and looked at his list again. "Anyway..." he started, about to excuse himself to continue with his household groceries. He was distracted by Morning's words and Dawn's pointing little hand.
Riven turned around to see Bess and his face instantly split in a smile "Bess. I haven't seen her for a long time. She's been doing errands, Aidenna said, and she was doing...chores too I think. For the inn and the clinic" His soft ears flopped curiously, perking up some.
***
Bess smelled strongly of grape and mint thanks to helping M'rala make purplum pod antiseptic lotion. Her hands were dyed purple.
She looked up when she heard familiar voices and smiled, walking over to the group, carrying a bag full of bandages and other medical things. "Riven, Morning and Midnight. It's good to see you all. What are you doing out in the marketplace? I was buying more medical supplies for the clinic. Paying back M'rala for the meds she lent me for Midnight a while ago" she made a face. "Crushing purplum pods isn't as fun as it sounds"
She looked at Riven "Your mother's got you doing errands for her again I see. How's the farm going? How's your father's flock? Heard anything from your brother? Or Mendal?" she laughed. "Sorry for the barrage of questions. It's just been so long since we were sent on an assignment together"
She looked at the babies and smiled adoringly "Uh oh, who gave them candy? That's not good for their teeth" she tutted, glancing at the group with a twinkle in her eyes. She was just teasing.
Riven opened his mouth to speak, then closed it, then opened it again, unable to get a word in. He then stood there in some confusion, trying to think of all the answers to the things the boar just asked.

Bess waved a hand at Morning "Oh no, no, I'm no teacher. I only know the basics; you know; use this medicine for that ailment and how to clean and bandage wounds. I'm just helping M'rala out because she gave us some salem beans for free before Midnight and I went on a mission for Aidenna. They taste like candy but they're actually painkillers, and they're safe for pregnant people to take. But they're hard to harvest and they're expensive, so...this is payback" she smiled. "We can be students together. As for first aid, yeah, she teaches first aid to everyone in the village, since we're under attack so often, and since going out in the world is dangerous. So getting your first aid skills brushed up should be simple"
Her gaze shifted to Midnight. "Oh yeah, we do have a carpenter. He's over in that direction, right next to the furniture shop. I'm sure he can make you some solid wood toys, since he uses the forest trees around here and they're quite hardy"
She shifted the bag she was carrying to her left arm and looked back at Morning. "Come to M'rala's hut whenever you're ready. I'll see you there" she looked back at Riven "Oh and, Riven, it was nice to see you again. I'm sorry we don't have time to chat but I'll come visit when I can"
***
Riven nodded and smiled "Okay, see you next time then. I'll just be around home, tending the farm and the sheep, so you know where to look for me" he waved her off.
He turned back to the werebear family "Well,I better finish the grocery shopping or mum's gonna be wondering where I am. See you all this afternoon hopefully" he gave them a kind smile before walking off to continue his shopping, leaving the three cubs and two adults to wander where they would around the market stalls and shops.

((I'd say his filleting knife. Those things are sharp and sailors who own them are usually fiercely protective of their personal filleting knife. It's sharp enough to swiftly fillet fish and it's defs sharp enough to hurt someone, lop a finger or ear off, leave a deep, clean cut. Also, I guess a cutlass and maybe a gun. A harpoon gun! That'd be awesome. Fire harpoons at will. You could look at pirate weapons or navy weapons to get ideas. Also maybe hard coral or something, fashioned into knuckle weapons or a glove, or shards of broken barnacles on a wooden club. Or like, those spiny, hard crab legs off those giant Japanese crabs that live down deep; use a pair of 'em like chopsticks XD))
Bess waved goodbye as they parted ways and hurried back to what she was doing. She didn't want to keep M'rala waiting. Soon she was back to crushing Purplum pods with a giant mortar and pestle, picking out lumps and fibrous bits with her hands.
***
The shopkeep (whose name I forgot. We will call him Johann). Johann came out of his shop, walking past wooden furniture and decorations of different kinds until he saw Morning and the others. He dusted wood shavings off his apron and shook them off his hooves before greeting them "Aye? What can I do for ye? Are ye after some furniture perhaps? I can make any type of furniture ye can think of. Or was there something else ye need?" he smiled, friendly, but not willing to come too close to the carnivores. He eyed their three little ones warily. "Yon kidlets can come inside the shop but I must ask ye not to let them gnaw on me goods. All costs money ye know"

Johann looked happy with that. He nodded and gave the couple time to choose what they wanted. "If ye want, I can set up a playground for them outside the front of ye house or in ye back yard" he offered. "I can build tree houses, play gyms, play houses, slides, swings, whatever ye wish"
He wrote down their orders, making sure he got all the details. "I'll include letters, numbers and simple pictures on the wooden blocks. Helps em learn faster" he nodded to the three cubs, two of which were running around his shop, hiding around or under furniture, climbing on things, or scratching at them. Full of sugar and energy, they played. The shop heard their giggles and growls.
Dawn and Dusk took the opportunity to explore their world and play while they were in a new place. Noon unfortunately didn't do much but sleep or look around from her mother's arms.
Johann scribbled out something else, making a note for floatable boats. "Can do! These will need to be supervised if ye take the kids near water, mind. Drowning is all to easy at their age" he looked at Morning "A job? Ye best see Aidenna or some o' the other shop owners. In fact, I could always use a hand chopping down a few trees for lumber to make things with"
