Sunbeam Lair rockabye

The lair had been quiet as of late, which wasn’t at all unusual but still concerning all the same. She was not the sort that longed for noise and could survive just well in a world of silence, but the growth of her children made her desire something more. Something that might be interesting—thrilling—and capable of attracting their attentions. Their lessons would eventually be drawn to a close and, once that happened, they would need to choose what sorts of roles they’d serve within the tribe. It was for that reason, too, that she wished for something that might influence them positively and, of course, spark their interests. For even though they seemed young now, she knew how quickly time could fly, as well as how soon they’d have to decide on mentors. She’d been lingering along the lake whilst such thoughts filled her mind, only to have them torn away from her by a voice; she recognized it, as well as considered it to be a pleasant surprise. Away from the water she’d gone in an instant, heading towards the cavern’s entrance.

Slipping from the safety of the lair, Asterr hadn’t needed anything more than a second for her gaze to find the male. A smile pulled at the corners of her lips, glad to see him, though concern flickered through her eyes as she took note of his condition. Surely something had happened since they’d last seen one another, but she would not pry. Instead, the Chieftess had moved towards him, lessening the space before speaking. “It is good to see you,” had been the first words to leave her mouth, followed by, “What has brought you here today?” Despite her standing offer, she’d not make any assumptions. Whether or not he’d come to join, she’d leave it up to him to declare that as fact.
