Swiftcurrent Creek happy birthday to you

Aye aye! :)

Bones turned, her smile looking sad and tired on the backdrop of her gaunt face, yet nevertheless bright. "Ahoy, Cap'n Bazi," she greeted, dipping her pewter muzzle. Her pale green eyes followed the young Alpha as she flopped down beside her and made herself comfortable.

"Aye," she agreed softly, looking out over the creek now. She'd grown in some ways but shrunk in others. It would take a few weeks to fill out after months of near starvation. Bones guessed that she would not be as large as she'd been meant to be because of the poor nutrition while still growing.

"Tell me everything that's happened?" Bones said more loudly, leaning onto her opposite elbow and hip so she could face Bazi.
