Moonspear Little lights

Their eyes flew wide when the puppy stammered out her name. It was very much like theirs! Treepie didn’t realize they also looked very similar, as they hadn’t had many occasions to see their own reflection.

Tiuttuk! they said, thumping a tiny paw against the spot on their chest where black turned to white. Pie! they added, their preferred nickname.

Movement over Tikaani’s shoulder momentarily drew their attention. Treepie thought they could make out an adult wolf tucked into the shadows of the ulaq. Were those more babies bundled close to her chest?

Their world narrowed back to their current playmate before they glanced back at Sialuk to ask, Can has?

They took their mother’s patient smile as confirmation and reached out to tug at the smaller child’s elbow. She was coming home with them. She was too small to be a sibling, so maybe she could be Treepie’s baby!

C’mawn, Tiki Tiki!
