Cerulean Cape Owl

Just a cameo! <3

Reverie was beginning to falter.
She hid it well, hid it out of necessity; they were so close to the end of their journey now, she did not want anything to jeopardize it. But her supply of milk was dwindling, propped up for now by herbs and drawing on reserves she no longer had. The excess weight she'd carried was gone, and any further weight loss would see her thinning to a sickly frailness. For now, she took comfort in the return to her pre-pregnancy figure, even as the energy drained from her.
She was so focused on keeping herself going, she almost didn't register the howl or Lestan's suggestion. Reverie stopped and blinked at him, and then down at Blossom. It was all she could do to keep from bursting into tears of relief. Rest. Yes, she desperately needed that now. She nodded and took her daughter, curling up beneath the rocky overhang. She no longer cared if Riordan accompanied them; part of her almost hoped Lestan would come back without him. But either way, it didn't matter. All she wanted was to sleep.
Nothing would rouse her for the next fourteen hours.
