Nova Peak ❇ Tavu

---

silatuyok smiled, soft and knowing, though her ears flicked bashfully beneath ravens call's playful nudge.
ahh... not yet, she murmured in her broken voice, eyes glancing away toward the trees as if the season might already be hiding there, waiting. my season... eh, soon. her tail curled slightly, brushing at the earth, neither shy nor proud. only honest.
she shifted, pressing gently against the thought of coming changes, of warm bodies and new pups, of the medicine they would need, and the herbs that must be gathered before spring fully unfurled. her gaze returned to raven’s with a quiet spark.
many pups, she agreed. many healers. we... work close. yes.
a faint laugh left her chest—not quite a sound, more a breath full of warmth. you be good Naneka, she added softly, nudging the girl’s shoulder in return. strong. bright.
then her eyes turned, thoughtful, to the distant slopes. safe play trail… we make. together.
