Horizon Ridge Love, death, birth

In some ways, Pied was quite conventional in her thinking, especially as far as gender norms went. She would be faithful and, at least to some extent, obedient to Kisu and he, in turn, would protect her and their young fiercely. Theirs was to be a very classic mate-ship, a romantic bond forged with the intent to raise a family together.

However, when Kisu tackled her, whispered into her ear and essentially smothered her with affection, Pied found herself being the one to ask, "Kisu, will you be my mate?" rather than waiting for him to ask. Her eyes glimmered up at him and she crooked her forelegs to wrap about his shoulders, loosely slinging them about his muscular neck.
