Redhawk Caldera Don’t let this touch you

Maia smiled at Bronco's joke but had dismissed the idea that Wraen might be a ghost nearly immediately. Some might find the thought comforting but she just found it sadder still. Wherever Wraen was, she wasn't stuck here. She was with their parents and siblings and everyone else, with too many amazing things to do and see to ever be worried about anything here.

Of course I'm right, she said with a slight, happy bounce. Eljay was going to be so glad to see him, she was sure!! And Bronco was going to love everyone. Maia gave a quick gesture and then set off, deciding they could walk and talk. She was getting a little restless too, just standing there, and she'd need to get back to the den soon. The puppies would be getting hungry (and loud) without her.

There's Eljay and I and our kids. Sylvie and Hymnal are older, and then there's the four new ones. You can come meet them sometime, if you want. He had a son, but did Bronco like kids? Maia didn't actually know that much about him aside from the fact that he was friendly and, somehow, a Blackthorn.

Then there's Teya and Reyes, who have a daughter. Her name is Sorana. And Bridget just got back recently, so that makes everyone here now. Without Ibis and her family, or Wraen and Arcturus and all of the rest who formed the pack, it certainly felt smaller these days. No less like a family, though, and she hoped that was all Bronco cared about. It would be nice to have some new faces.
