Moonspear took a walk

The instant Fox said the word "siblings," Wildfire's heart began fluttering in her chest. Her amber eyes immediately dropped to her mother's slender abdomen, then back up to her face. Had she given birth? Did Wildfire have little brothers and sisters back at the caldera? Somehow, she had been missing her parents, Nightjar and Raven (and the rest of them) too much to recollect about younger siblings. But her curiosity burned as bright as a flame, flicking in her chest.

"Did you have them? The pups, I mean?" she asked breathlessly without answering Fox's question. She tittered sheepishly, then added, "I'm good. Really good, actually. Things have been going well here. I got my adult rank not too long ago. Oh, and I switched my trades up some. I'm a hunter now." Her chest puffed up ever so slightly. Surely her mother would take that nugget of information back to Peregrine, who would hopefully be proud of his little redhead.
