Stone Circle do not speak as loud as my heart

A wild pang went through Day's heart as a little voice rang out - he recognized it as the more outgoing of Althaia's daughters, but in his current state of little rest and even less eace of mind, he could not recognize that she was crying out in excitment and not in fear.

Day barreled toward the sound, only to find the cute little pip with a beetle in her mouth, looking no worse for wear. His heart was fixing to beat right out of his chest, but a quick assesment of the situation began to calm him down.

Approaching at a less frantic pace, Day called out to the little wolf. "Hey cutie, remember me?" he asked, hoping that he would be answered in the affirmative.
