Heron Lake Plateau First storm

Sorry I’ve held this up!

It was so good to see Wildfire. So good. As her sibling greeted her — with no bitterness, much to Raven’s relief — she felt something release inside of her, like an invisible burden had been taken off her shoulders. She’d been wanting to visit Wifi for so long now but somehow, something always seemed to come up whenever she made the time to travel to the Copse (lol phone just autocorrected that to “Corpse”). She had secretly wondered if her sister might feel slighted by Raven’s lack of involvement.

Wifi launched right into catching up, and Raven gave her an abbreviated run-down of recent events and filled her in on happenings she might or might not have heard about, including Screech’s role in the deaths of her two firstborns and Kite’s developmental issues as well as Caiaphas’s challenge for her leadership position, among other things. ”Mostly been spending time with the kids,” she finished, shifting a bit where she had sat down during her explanation. ”Now that they’re all grown, I’ve taken up the alpha post again alongside Qui so it’s been a busy few weeks.”

She realized she’d been talking for some time and while Wifi had asked, she suddenly felt a little selfish talking so much about her own life when there was surely a lot going in with her sister that she didn’t know. So she handed the floor to her fiery-coated littermate and returned the question with a grin: ”So enough about me — how ‘bout you? How’s life? How are your pups?”
