Wheeling Gull Isle Everybody get on board

It took her a while to appear, but once he spotted her heading his way, his tail waved behind him. He was nervous too, but for likely slightly different reasons, and maybe in the end not as much as her. Something seemed a little different to her, but he couldn't pin down what until she was much closer.

As she got closer, the scents and changes to her were familiar to him. So then... She did have kids? His expression muddled for a moment -- he did like pups, turns out, but why didn't she tell him? Or was it all a fake somehow and they were someone else's? But he swallowed the feeling and smiled broadly. She'd explain, right? She totally would, he convinced himself. It made him more nervous though, instead of less. Instead of blurting something out, he kept to his script. Hua! Well, it's been a while since I saw you. Thought it was time I stopped by and see how things were going. A flashy grin, then he reached down then and nudged the rabbit forward. And I brought this for you. And let's be honest, it really was for her not her pack, at least from Mal's POV. His tail lashed a bit more vigorously then a couple of times before returning to its usual tempo. Inwardly he was 'plz spill beans plzplzplz' but was doing his best to not act like a fool.
