Wheeling Gull Isle all I want to say

The return of her mother was met with much excitement. Having recently found the strength to pull herself upright, Luli put every effort to gather on wobbly limbs to waddle adorably forward, scruffy tail wiggling at her rear as she emitted happy little mewlings.

The joy was drawn from her at once, however, as another apoeared from beyond the threshold of their family burrow. The tiny seadragon blinked up at this stranger, who was much larger than her dam and regular baby-sitter, and the dappled youngster whimpered softly in confusion. She wasn't really sure how to feel about this intrusion, but her provider did not seem phased by his presence.

Still, she could sense Haoming's hostility and Xiaoqing's fear, and she fed off their negative response with one of her own. Luli sought the comfort of the puppy closest to her: big brother. Made timid, she stumbled to him so that she could press her dappled flank to his side for reassurance, denim gaze watchful on the adults.
