Stone Circle Hi, You Barely Know Me.... Will You Travel Across The Teekon For Me?

A bright grin spread across Amber's ebony maw, and the mother stepped closer to Valette in order to give her a thankful nuzzle to the shoulder. 
 
                          "This means a lot to my family, Valette. Thank you."

Eyes glossing over with unretained happiness, Amber felt like she wanted to cry -- she really was home, here, despite how much she missed Spring and her family. Speaking of Heston aloud as her brother, not just "family", was a little weird for her, but it felt right: even if Spring and Heston weren't together yet, she saw the pale man as much her brother as any of her real ones. 

                                                    "Spring and Natashe, my sisters, and Heston, my brother -- they'll be waiting for the news of the birth, that I found Grayday and we all have a good home here in the Valley. If they want to come visit me, and you're okay with bringing them to Wapun Meadow, Steady said that was okay, but if they can't, then I'll make the journey in the Summer with the pups myself."
