Maia was mid-story when the call came.  Her ears pricked up and she smiled apologetically.  We'll find out what happens next at dinner.  Okay?

The call didn't sound urgent, but it did sound like a stranger.  Maia wondered how they knew Lilitu, and she also ached for news of her.  How was she?!  Was she happy, where she was?  They hadn't heard.

Both of the strangers were small, and one looked much odder than the other. They'd had strange looking wolves near and around before, and Maia tried not to stare. Hello. My name is Maia, I'm Lilitu's aunt. She sent you here? There was a brief hesitation before 'aunt', as Maia had never really defined it before out loud. Her younger siblings might consider Maia somewhat of a mother, but it would feel wrong to claim that with Ibis' older children, even if the alternative was a bit of an awkward mess of family ties.

She waited then, curious to see why they'd come. It sounded as if they might be looking for a home. Why not choose Akashigo then?
