The Sunspire The radius of your heart

"Is it also tall enough to stab the sun in the eye?" Fin replied as she followed her mate's gaze skyward. It was not her first time seeing the peak, of course. She would've had to be reeeeeeeeaaaal dumb to not notice it when she had lived just North at the Plateau. She'd spent a lot of time exploring some of its nooks and crannies back in the day, but never the real heart of it where the original Sunspire pack had staked its claim. She wondered vaguely what had ever happened to them, but dismissed it. It didn't much matter anyway, for now it was a home to her daughter and the latest generation of Blackthorns.

She looked at Elwood and gave a small smile, partnered with a nod. Fin was eager to meet the little creatures and see how they had turned out. Liffey's mate wasn't exactly gray like her and Elwood were gray, but she was still hoping for some replicas of herself in them, and they had damn well better have black spines or Liffey was going to need to find a new boy with less dominant genes.

The girl that arrived was not her daughter, but seemed to be about her age. Maybe a little younger, though it may have been the silly enthusiasm that drove that thought. Fin quirked a brow at her greeting, but never faltered in her friendly, amused smile. "Sup Maia," she replied, falling into line with the girl's tone and vocabulary, "I'm Finley and this is my mate, Elwood. We're Liffey's parents and we heard we have grandchildren now, so we came to judge their worth." Her happy tone melted into a serious one at the final comment as she attempted to fool the girl for her own amusement. No doubt someone would be along to ruin the ruse shortly.
