Moonspear sojourn

A smile passed his face when Alya greeted him and he nuzzled his nose into her fur during the fond embrace. It didn't take long for Hydra to arrive, too, and Nikai glanced in her direction as Alya removed herself from him. He missed the touch instantly and shot his mate a smile, then turned to look back at Hydra. It was uncanny still how very alike the two -- or three, rather -- of them looked.

Nikai nodded when Alya brought up visiting Valette. That's a good idea, he agreed. Nikai hesitated a moment, exchanging a brief glance with Hydra. I think I would prefer staying here while you make the trip. I'd slow us down quite a bit, and I'd like for Valette to receive the news as quick as possible. But I'll go if you greatly prefer it. Nikai trusted Alya enough to get back here safely, and however much he longed to see Easthollow and Valette, he also knew that leaving it would only be harder if he got to stay for only a day or so.
