Dawnlark Plains all that summer was fire and rain

The mottled shewolf thougth she detected a flicker of emotion in her dam's eyes; it wouldn't surprise her if her words and desires were not entirely in line with what the other woman wanted. Easy didn't want to cause her any unnecessary pain, but it was important to her that she was met in the middle in this matter; she had been hurt by Akuti before. Besides, she'd had Pema and Catori. There was no missing space in her heart for the woman to fill. Only what room Easy could make for her, if she proved to be a wolf worth loving.

It was strange to walk along behind her. Easy was accustomed to standing over and often outweighing most wolves, but it was really quite ridiculous how large she was beside Akuti. Ridiculous because she had come out of that body.

Easy offered a wry smile when the woman looked back at her, glad that her thoughts were safe inside her own mind.
