A smudge of soft white appeared between rock and pine. Cloud Dancer had returned home! For a moment, the two women exchanged solemn expressions – loud, however silent.
Moon Runner shook the worry from her furs and eagerly joined Cloud Danger in a greeting ritual. Her bottlebrush tail swayed happily between her hocks as her nose investigated the smells from her voyage. She even preened a tuft of loose winter fur with her incisors.
But then Cloud Runner’s skycolor gaze became distant.
Moon Runner joined her and looked westward, out into the taiga, where other clans warred.
A flick of the ear to acknowledge her Wealda’s sentiments.
Moon Runner bumped her jaw and licked her chin.
Cheer up, the spirit said.
Then, her nose trailed to where Cloud Dancer and Grim Tooth’s children grew.
Not long now, the spirit knew.
