Honeyed Pasture the unexpected turn

Coelacanth observed the exchange between Hemlock and Stockholm with keen interest and not a little impatience, though this manifested itself in a few prancing steps and nothing more. She was pleased to be remembered by the fiery she-wolf whose brilliant malachite eyes appeared a bit shell-shocked, and oddly eager to see how her tiny children had grown. Reed and Droman had been the first puppies to be born on Wheeling Gull Isle since Seelie had known it, and she could not help but wish Hemlock would bring them back to the shores of their birth. Stockholm’s teasing quip was greeted with a mock-growl, a flash of alabaster cutlery; then, in a completely unladylike manner, she nipped up a mouthful of fresh snow and boofed it in his general direction.
