Moonspear until we figure it out

smiling, he kicked the patchy fur-lump to the side and nosed forward the meat, red and stringy and kind funny looking now. maybe it was easier to eat now that he'd torn apart most of the fur and such, but he wasn't going to test it out. charon's response about the triplets though, phew, that went way over terance poor little head. the stone stared, quietly, his ears cupped forward and eyes squinting in almost disbelief. "hydra and ayla both pretended to be lyra," he said in a comment, almost like he was agreeing but still like he was trying to work something out. "julia?" he said, another comment, this time phrased like a question, "i've seen her." an implication lied somewhere that he hadn't known that she was one of his, but he'd yet to officially meet her anyway. somehow this small detail had a big impact on him, maybe it had something to do with all three triplet's lack of communication and bond with their fourth sister... did they not care about her? he could only think of wraen and sarah and how he wanted nothing more than to spend each waking moment with them. he was baffled.

deciding he didn't like this new information, and was suddenly mad with all three girls (although he and ayla weren't all that close). terance opted to change the topic, as he would prefer not to have a problem with lyra and hydra was actually turning out to be pretty damn cool... and ayla had potential as a friend. "how are the pups?" he asked. he knew damn well he probably couldn't see them, but talking about them was not a rule. how are they? how big are they? how many? what colors? genders? did they open their eyes yet? probably not. all questions terance had but refused to ask in one sentence-- that would be obnoxious.
