Broken Boulder chalcedony

Backdated to whenever

The cats in their territory were becoming quite a nuisance, albeit not entirely unwelcome. For the most part they seemed, to Olive, inconsequential. The colony would take up residence here and then they would move on, and the wolves who lived upon the bolder would be no worse for wear. Oh, how wrong she would be! 

There were many things about their place within the Sanctuary that Olive found to be nothing less than divine providence. Seabreeze was at home with her best friends, without the weight of her relationship with Terence to cast a pall upon her soul. Dakarai’s kin, her step-son in essence, had found their way to her with the help of her sea sprite — and with Sirius in tow! The happy reunion with her son [and her half son] was short-lived, for Olive found his life of solitude had made him cold and distant, which was something that the woman very much blamed herself for… but her small, fractured family was coming back together, piece by broken piece.

With that in mind, Olive stuck her nose to the earth and made to look like she was on the hunt for herbs — but truthfully, she was on the hunt for @Drakonis.

He could have done without being introduced to the feline species. They stank, they stole, they pestered, and they were loud. It made him feel like a cranky old man. He had purposely been staying as far away as he could from them and Sirius had joined him, staying along the outskirts of the territory. He had met Olive, his stepmother which strangely enough he didn't seem to be bothered by calling her such. They hadn't really spoken much outside of small talk, her focus had been on Sirius at the time which he didn't blame her for and had dismissed himself from the scene.

Now he sat by the stream, staring into the water at a particularly flashy rock trying to figure out how to grab it without drowning himself in the process.
