It didn't take her long to come across her friend.  He leapt out at her from the dark foliage like a marshmallow from a marshmallow cannon.  A grin spread across her face as he came to her, and she returned his excited admonishments with a laugh.  She felt his nose against her ears, felt his arm over her shoulder, and finally his tongue on her nose.  Something stirred in the pit of her stomach - so forcefully that she felt shocked for a moment and could scarcely breathe.

She caught herself quickly enough - hopefully that he wouldn't even notice.  She returned his gestures with a nuzzle and kiss to his cheek before stepping away, almost worried to remain in his embrace for the strength of the feeling that had taken her.  Shaking her head, Harlyn pushed it away and carried on as though it had never happened, even though it was still humming softly in her belly.  "I'm glad to see you too!  It's only been a few days, but it feels far too long," the alpha replied happily, "Did I miss anything exciting?"
