Wheeling Gull Isle mother's embrace

can this be forward dated a few days? óvò if not its ok! also tag 4 reference

Music struck the air- she knew Atausiq had not yet returned, for he had not come to see her yet- likely still traveling back from Easthollow. Or so she prayed. But it was unfortunate; these were the reasons she promoted Ying, and Atausiq, to have someone at her side to lead when she could not. Atausiq's slightly inconveniently timed trip was nothing she could complain about, though- he was a new father, he ought to tell his family, or so she figured. Still, Huā knew that call was for a leader. 

She was not quick to answer the call by any means- the children had just opened their eyes, and she could not leave them alone so soon, and so she waited until the sweet caregiver @Daiyu came by- certainly a girl who would not mind watching the puppies and keeping them warm. They exchanged places; Huā hoped her brood would not hunger for milk at the time, Daiyu was perhaps too young to even try to provide. And so she gave each of the resting babes a kiss upon the forehead, and drew herself upward, exiting the birthing den for the first time in many days. 

It was a liberating feeling, truly, for she had been longing for the outdoors. To stretch her legs and see the sea. And as she traveled the expanse of the island her heart became sore, worrying each moment if her children were alright in the paws of her friend. They ought to be... right?

Finally she came upon the silver girl who sat at the edge. Huā hoped the weight leftover from her pregnancy was enough excuse for her slow answer, and she tilted her chin upward elegantly, eyeing the stranger warmly in spite of her stance. Greetings. I am Huā, you stand at border of Yuèlóng. What bring you to us?
