Emberwood It goes in my eyes a cinema

the congratulations sat uncomfortably on bhediya's ears. it wasn't earned; aside from carrying and bearing the litter, she hadn't done anything worth noting. of course, pihu didn't have to know this. not yet, at least. she allowed it to pass.

it was easier to move on. i... i am happy, actually. i have a mate here. she wondered if he might beg more children of her in the spring and prayed that he wouldn't. pregnancy was taxing, especially on a body as small and old as her own. and the leader, @Ibis, she's so kind. 

it occurred to her then to call for the young leader, which bhediya did by way of multiple short howls. she stopped walking then and assumed that pihu would do the same, falling into position on the border's neutral flank. we'll talk more in a moment, okay?
