Moonspear princes who adore you

Darkness didn’t lend itself to taking a look, though their night vision should allow them to surveil the herd under its cover. Tiuttuk pondered this, as well as Kindle’s words, whilst gazing at him thoughtfully for a moment.

You’re not afraid of a challenge. That’s good, she said, swinging back into motion, because this terrain will present plenty of them. Just follow my lead… and watch your step.

As they climbed, she considered calling for Alaric or Tikaani. But it was late enough that Pie didn’t want to risk disturbing them. Besides, they didn’t need to hunt tonight. Kindle should start small, mapping the territory and taking notes on its offerings like planned.

After a while, she broke the silence again to say, You’re Katmai’s cousin, right? Did you know he thinks you’re fussy? Did you two grow up together?

She didn’t know a lot about Katmai’s past, though she wondered how much of it they shared. Had they stuck together their whole lives, like she and Tiki had? Treepie didn’t dare risk looking at him as she scrambled up and over a particularly sheer, steep boulder. Only once she’d found kinder ground again did she shoot Kindle an inquisitive glance.
