Lost Creek Hollow viento

today she lay with the pups. @Esma, @Acantha, @Enelise she kept an eye upon, while she cradled stormpup and @Shadowpup nearby. the younger two had acclimated well, and akavir had come to take the others with him. she bid them goodbye, meeting his eye with a brief look that promised to seek him again. their conversation, it seemed, was not going to end, and in this she found relief. as the day grew warmer, silvertongue dozed softly, opening her eyes every so often to count the small heads and ensure they all were present.
