Blackwater Islands sleeping with the moon and the stars

Kalika nodded in response to Akantha's invitation and sat herself just over the coastline, allowing the water to flow gently over her fur. The Sprite is progressing well. We've decided to call her Calypso. She smiled as she thought of the small girl and her playful desposition. Although they hadn't known each other for long, it felt as if they were connected in a way which only mother and child could understand. Spring is upon us, Matriarch. Have you decided what to do about the breeding rites? Kalika was incredibly curious about how Akantha was thinking, but she was more curious to her about who she was thinking.

For the time being, Kalika's own maternal thirsts had been quenched. Should Akantha ask and a great conflict would arise. However, Kalika doubted that she would be asked such a sacred thing during such a critical time in the pack's long-term success. Rather than suggesting such a thing, she decided to allow Akantha to share her woes as she see fit.
