Silvertip Mountain A Starry Night

Chaska mentioned needing time to rest and FitzDutiful nodded. He had wanted to learn more about his Eta but it appeared that would just have to wait. And that was okay. He hoped Chaska would stick around. It was nice to have loyal members. Bindi, Copper, Raissa - they had stayed from the start. They'd had a fair few wanderer and deserters but Chaska seemed made of a material that would stay.

Wearily, FitzDutiful turned and headed back to his own den. He, too, needed rest. As much as he was hating the current situation he didn't doubt that it would all be worth it when the children arrived. All of them - the plentiful amount that he was sure he would have. Dreams eventually engulfed him where he played with them for hours on end.
