Sunbeam Lair In the mirror, you're brushing over

The coywolf's ears popped up in interest, and the wonder was apparent in his dark blue eyes even before seaqueens were brought into the equation. His tail whipped, giving his whole body a slight bounce-and-sway while his own thoughts brewed. He did not like to be alone with them any more than he liked being alone for any reason, and so he said them aloud as soon as they came to him:

"My brother fell in love with a sea queen," he was pleased to share. "And he had a bunch of sea-kids with her. But they only let him visit 'til they were grown. Then they turn the boys out — and now they're bounty hunters like him. But I guess the girls are seaqueens still."

Now Dusty Rose was the bumble bee bouncing off a window as he tried to move away from Etienne. He could only go so far, though! Then he would feel he was too far, and he would have to wheel about to see him again, and then circumnavigate until he next felt the need to try and range onward. But if Etienne did not move, then he was stuck in this cycle.

For a time, at least.
