The news that Druid had once had a familiar of her own was curious, even if the bond had not been as intentional as Prowler's attachment to Fiona. Sharing the tradition would help solidify Fiona's place in Rivenwood, even if she did not plan on staying here long term. I don't see why you couldn't, she said, glancing back to the denmouth where six children could very easily be given the instructions when they were ready to take that next step in life.

There is another thing I want to teach you and Heda, when you are ready. It is the reason I have been going back to the hollow often. I know a way of keeping a woman's season away for as long as she wants. There were some inconveniences, like being bound to a small radius, but Fiona had found that few wandered far unless they were seeking out new family. Besides, traveling in the colder months would do just fine.
