Redhawk Caldera goldpearl

one day, chickadee opened her eyes to a morning drizzle and felt for the first time since becoming a mother that she had come to sort of understand some things. like the differences in how @Crane whined to be fed versus how @Eagle demanded a meal, or how @Cardinal's little baby sighing could indicate a dream.
surrounded by family, the blurring of days was warm. @Kivaluk brought her meals, @Eljay stayed with her, and @Maia was never far.
life was very good, and while chickadee thought fondly of the moon packs, she was content to be home in the place she had always known, and deeply thankful to her mate for his choice that they should come back to brecheliant.
