"Kitty!"

He heard the call underwater, albeit muffled and muted. The boy wrenched his head upward again and turned, shaking icy droplets from his head and ruff and opening his eyes to look upon Simbelmyne—whose own face appeared concerned.

Fishing, Kitimat answered her unvoiced question, broad shoulders lifting, then falling, in a shrug. Would you like to join me, Mother?

He'd greet her with a kind nuzzle upon approach, preening at the soft fur at the base of her ear for a moment before pulling back. He knew she had been withdrawn and nervous since Father and Katmai had vanished, and especially since Seelie's brief disappearance. 

She needed some levity in her life.
