“A lady, eh?” A smirk curled Njord’s lips, equally happy and curious. “Aye, you’d be right. A newlywedded pair t’was what we were thinkin’,” he affirmed. “Ah’d appreciate it,” he added when Towee offered to keep her eyes peeled for any promising candidates.

Then, when the Redhawk matriarch fact-checked, Njord gave her a shrug with a whimsical sigh as if to say, our life story is always changing!

“Aye, that’s what we were thinking, for a while… Just me, Meerkat, an our wee ones in tha spring. Homesteadin’ a place just for us after years of givin’ ourselves tae others. But…” Njord’s face glowed with admiration. “That’d be wastin’ Meerkat’s talents, wouldnae it?” he chuckled an easy laugh.

“What Ah mean is…,” he clarified, “we want tae put the best part of our lives, the best part of ourselves, into the tartan weave of the Copse. We enjoyed camraderie, an’ Meerkat an’ I both enjoy coaching. An’ kin, well… that’s evrything, isn’t it? In a way… Ah think we want tae make the pack we wished we had at the beginning of it all.”

A small lull. “But, at this rate… it will just be Meerkat, I, and our wee bairns,” he chuckled. “Ahh… I cannae wait tae be a father again,” he added whimsically.
