Moonspear know that the shine inside will always keep you strong

Unaware that their mental paths were at total odds, Treepie returned her yellow eyes to Katmai’s face as he told her about a plateau from his grandmother’s childhood. He had never seen it for himself. Maybe that was what he wanted: someplace fresh and unfamiliar, but with those roots he’d mentioned.

His closing words almost made her rethink the words at the tip of her own tongue. They did give her pause, though only for a moment. They’d barely seen anything of Moonspear before her episode had halted them. Katmai hadn’t had a chance to look around properly.

You should consider Moonspear, Pie said in a soft voice. Especially since Kinusi was born here, which kind of made it her birthright.

And it was Tiuttuk’s too, of course, but she’d had her run. She couldn’t explain why she had no qualms with the idea of Katmai and Kinusi assuming ownership—maybe she was just too exhausted and mixed-up to spare any bandwidth for it—but it didn’t bother her. She was in no shape to lead herself anyway, though Pie thought she would do almost anything to see the village bloom again, even in a slightly different shade.

Just think about it… while we finally get this tour underway, she concluded as she gingerly rose to her feet.
