Verdigris Ravine nuff of this nonsense

Last for me unless someone stops her!

Candle did not think she had ever been so thrilled to see anyone. She melted into his embrace, but only had a moment to enjoy it before Kusuma crashed into the pair of them and brought them all to the ground. A yip of pure surprise bubbled out of her, then dissolved into shy laughter.

But she was overwhelmed. Candle extracted herself carefully from the embrace after a moment, and looked for Zoug, whose presence she had felt only a moment ago. He was gone. Her ears fell briefly, but stood tall again when she looked to Kazakir and Kusuma. She whined softly, a promise in her eyes that she would return for a proper reunion, and hoped that they would understand.

She was worried about Zoug, that was all. So she went to look for him, remembering the sadness she'd seen in him, and hoping that she might convince him to come meet Kazakir and share in their joy.
