Stavanger Bay (fall in, fall out, fall along)

Doe does not wake when Qilaq does; not anymore. By now, the woman has grown used to her dreams, and such fickle things do not rouse the pregnant shewolf as they once had. It's a good while before her eyes blink open to a cramped but emptier-than-usual den - and the woman is then quick to go after her dark child.

"Stargazing again, Quil? the woman asks fondly, relieved to find the girl alive, well, and within sight. Doe has never kept careful track of her, thinking too much of her autonomy to set the limits she should have - but ever since Qilaq's drop, Doe has worried about her. She'd been prepared to lose the child since finding her, but now that she was here to stay, Doe found herself thinking it too good to be true.

Doe wandered away to relieve her bladder before returning to sit beside her daughter. She did not truly know whether or not Qilaq had been watching the stars - it was nearly dawn, now - but she'd seen her looking at them before.

"Maybe we can find someone to teach you about them," she suggested, speaking slowly and clearly so that the girl might better understand.

Truthfully, Doe did not think much of the girl's intelligence.
