Moonspear Sal din hug og lat den ri og renna.

Njord smiled appreciatively at Towhee’s offer –  the look of a tired, but contented father. He had to admit that the idea of a weekend getaway with his wife was enticing even if some lingering attachment issues still nettled his heart. After what he had endured with all of his children… Njord doubted he would ever shake the trauma completely. Seal and Orca’s upbringing was, so far, uneventful and their father wouldn’t let anything change that.

“Nay, Ah’ve never traveled so far South. In fact, Moonspear is the southernmost point my eyes have seen.” He grin, amused. “It would be nice tae see Meerkat’s origins. Ah visited tha Caldera once upon a time… before we began courting.” He held that sweet memory, and the taste of apple, close!

And at Towhee’s jeer Njord joined with a hearty laugh. “Indeed!”

The next thing he knew, Orca and Seal were calling out. Da! Da!

Njord turned his head. The time had flown so fast!

He looked back to Towhee. “Och, we’re already here! Make yourself at home. You’re with Moonspear now,” he assured her of his camaraderie. Then, with a wave of his red tail Njord loped away to greet the littles and meet Towhee’s children. But first - a peck on his wife’s cheek!
