Wheeling Gull Isle if I tell you why I must stay,

for anyone who wants to stumble across sleepy hua in her den?! :D puppies or dad also welcome, whoever!

 

As dawn fled and morning dominated the sky, Huā's eyelids fluttered open. Her children slept beside her soundly. Sunlight filtered into the den, Huā longed to go see the world outside, for it felt a very long time since she had been- but there was an obligation here. She was sure that as soon as she went out for a walk her children would mewl and whine for milk or attention or some other thing which she could never quite satisfy. It was tiring. Still, she wanted to be with the people, patrolling the beaches- and thought of this, as she poked her ebony head outside the entrance of her den, seaglass eyes taking in the forest around her.
