Dragoncrest Cliffs Someone said something one time, but Daddy didn’t talk too loud

sets this gently here - for you

Oh.  Again, a little self consciousness at Raleska's way of supplying things so matter-of-fact.  Maia was prone to projecting annoyance on things anyway, so wolves like this girl were a bit of a nightmare for her self-esteem.  At the news of a pack, though, Maia chose to one hundred percent ignore the tone behind Raleska's naming of the place.  Because something else popped into her mind instead.

I wonder if this was Illidan's home.  She had almost been tempted to say 'kingdom', but somehow that designation sounded childish.  She wasn't a fan of tossing around those types of feelings with her worldly companion here, even if she had made the comment mostly to herself.  Not that he's here anymore.  She'd looked for her friend a good many times as she'd traveled, but never managed to track him down.  Now it was an idle game, one that hurt less as time passed and she continued to imagine him happily settled in some distant place.
