Morningside Cuesta don't make a shadow of yourself

 I SAVE U

Harlyn had been eager to meet the newer of their recruits.  They had more now than she had imagined they would, but each she took as further confirmation that she and Mordecai were moving down the path that the gods wanted of them.  The druid peered skyward at the rays of sunlight peeking down at them between the branches of the canopy.  She smiled, said a silent thank you to Brother Sun, and then was promptly distracted by the sound of voices in the distance.

Turning her paws eagerly, she wove through the trunks of the trees towards her packmates.  Two voices eventually became one, and when Harlyn came upon the scene, it was to see one wolf leaving, but one remaining.  Disappointment that she wouldn't be meeting her new packmate was short-lived for soon enough, she was striding up to her best friend and nipping affectionately at his muzzle.

"Hey there, my dear," Harlyn crooned with a grin.  With all that was going on, they hadn't had too much time to catch up.  Now seemed like as good an opportunity as any.
