The Wall -- echoes of thundering hooves

Grayday was pleased when Pema arrived on the scene almost at once. He was not worried about the pups causing trouble; they were big enough to be on their own for a few hours at a time, and it wasn't as though he was far away. They were not far from his mind as Pema moved to introduce herself to Mirabelle, but certainly not the most pressing on his list of things that currently needed his attention.

"I'll go and get some more of that frilly plant," said Grayday, moving off toward the river once more. "Can you take a look at her?"

Grayday will be back for the next round.
