Blacktail Deer Plateau serafina

a flurry of soft laughter caught lasher's ear; he could not help the beam that spread across his lips. but he would play along. sauntering over to where eilidh had secreted herself, the beta looked about for her exaggeratedly. "where is she?" he wondered aloud to the o'er-reaching branches of the trees circling the rendezvous site. "i can hear her, but i cannot see her! why is that?"

taltos hid a laugh as he pretended to search behind a clump of wildflowers and a small rock for the pale girl, and then stumbled backward with feigned surprise when he 'finally' spotted his daughter. "you startled me!" his breath hitched then in his throat; she had grown so tall, despite her retained girlishness. elilidh would be a delicate bloom, but she had grown fast, and while he was overjoyed to see her, and all of his children, thrive, lasher was sad that they did not remain pups for long.

"would you like to explore outside the borders with me, beag amháin?" he asked, tail swaying gently.
