Moonspear Hath september

While she hadn’t been looking for her, per se, Tiuttuk found Tikaani perched on a rocky overhang and sidled up beside her. She pressed her nose to the other girl’s cheek and then settled beside her, tucking a yawn behind a black forepaw.

She said nothing for awhile, just sat watching the sunrise in companionable silence. It was peaceful, though a quick glance at Tiki’s face reminded her of the disappearance weighing on her half-sister. Pie knew she spent a good deal of time away from Moonspear, searching.

Eventually, Treepie broke the silence to say, If you want to keep looking, I’ll go with you. I’m not afraid anymore. She sat up a little straighter, steeling her spine. I’ll go as far as you want, Tiki, for as long as you want.
