Dawnlark Plains New Life

Grayday didn't tell her that he suspected it was from her impending heat, for the sake of keeping Raven and Mix's timelines straight. But he did was his tail, glad to hear that she was in a good mood and happy about his children. "Everyone's perfect," he said with a wag of his tail, giving into the urge to bathe her cheek in licks. He still got all wiggly and excited when he thought about his three youngest children. "I'm sure you've heard but there are two boys - Eventide and Winterbourne - and one girl, Kasatka. Cat says there's a pale, peachy one who will maybe look like her, one that's kind of light silver-blue, and one that's darker grey with ruddy highlights. But I can never remember which is which."

The last sentence was said with some chagrin, but he tried not to feel too bad about it. He knew his children by scent and name, and their appearances would change a lot in the coming months either way. "I'm worried about Easy, though. I thought she might be back by now, but... well, we'll wait a little longer. She's a wanderer like Dawn. And I haven't had much chance to talk to the rest of the kids, either."
