Dragoncrest Cliffs Epiphany

Chacal lay on the dark sand at Siren's Beach, where the great stone arch covered a strip of the sand in shade. The salt water bath she had taken had helped soothe her healing wounds, and she had pulled a few strips of kelp to lay across her hips and her temple, to seal in a bit of healing moisture. Once they dried, she pulled them off and consumed them; the odd, salty taste of the kelp strangely satisfying. She felt a pup stirring in her belly and huffed; perhaps she was craving salt because of her growing children. 

She had yet to tell @Theo, but had wanted to allow him some time to heal from the shock of battle. And while she dreaded the thought of him ever having to defend the pack's territory again, she knew that it would be best if he learned more, from her, about self defense. She called her son to her, so that they might speak of many things.
