Ocean's Breath Plateau Abreast of Waves

Heph blinked a moment, tail wagging, not embarrassed by the gift but it was unexpected. She smiled, not quite shy but softer than the one that was often fixed in place. "And it's not even my birthday, trying to turn my head?" A trial of laughter peppered the edges of her words but she took it gladly, glad to have something to bite back the hunger with before she was set to travel again so soon. If nothing else she hoped the hunt was a success because she felt she could eat a whole bison and then spent three days sleeping it off before she was ready to run around again - perhaps east she mused to herself.

At the mention other journey her head whirled, she was glad to be back, there was much to tell. "Good, everything and everyone and then some. But I was glad to see them." She said brightly. Ariadne's warmth when she welcomed her to Moonsong and Kukutux's at Moonglow, Maia and Meerkat's friendliness. Thyra's younger brother and the young wolf herself well settled in their new home. Seeing Meylodi again. Sapphique was always fun and comforting to visit. She worried about Sweetharbor, and was curious to see whether Hearthwood would make the journey.

She thought of wondering what he was doing, revisiting the altar of twilight under such different circumstances as her farewell to Atka, seeing the moonlight shine off it and suddenly thinking of him. "Towhee mentioned once you might like stones, and I rested one night in this place where the moonlight seemed to glow from these." She placed the rock to the earth, smooth and perhaps pleasing to the eye it looked somewhat dull in the daylight and she felt a bit shy again, a light cough escaping her as she tried to hide the humm of nervousness from her throat. "I guess it doesn't look like much in the day." She offered.
