Golden Glade Farewell Tour

she held her breath, peering beyond tam for as long as she could bear it. no pale coat appeared... no child-like male came bounding into the clearing. nothing. just tambourine. she released a soft sigh as tam began to talk, glancing to him with a soft smile. 

it almost mad her sad to hear that he thought they'd want to chase them off-- and all that apologizing. oh if only he knew how thrilled reek really was to see him again. she wondered if... maybe, in this moment, he'd tell him. ha, if only she knew how appropriate it was for reek to start making amends and tying loose ends... but she didn't-- just as tam, jhala was hopelessly ignorant. 

but still, she nudged reek back, a silent go to him. because even if tambourine didn't know who reek truly was, he seemed excited to see them, and that was enough for a quick hug of reunion... right? "we left," jhala answered, glancing back to tam, "went and started a pack down south (??? i think south) with our son astik. we're just visitin." then, after a few moments pause, she glanced first to reek, then back to tam. "you'd be welcomed back here any time anyway."
