Golden Glade Shadowless.

I am so tired and this is so bad but I saw this and COULD NOT resist replying!

Any day now, Raven thought as she walked -- no, waddled -- through the sun-dappled forest, directing her inner mom-voice to her unborn children. Feel free to gtfo anytime, dudes. This is getting uncomfortable. She enjoyed motherhood but late pregnancy was a hell of a cross to bear, even for her. Doing the math in her head, she knew the time had to be literally now, or darn close to it, and even though the thought of potentially going through another childbirth like last season scared the living daylights out of her, she was ready to yeet these fetuses if for no other reason than to be able to walk through a china shop without knocking literally everything off the shelves. Hugeness was NOT a thing Raven could ever really get used to.

She had taken to walking a lot, in the hopes of speeding up whatever biological kitchen timer it was that determined when the buns in the oven were done baking. She'd been out for most of the afternoon and was about to head back to find Quixote and see what, if anything, was for dinner when what did she hear on the afternoon air but a kEk from her dearly departed sister. Her emotions regarding Towhee and Phox were mixed, to say the least, but there was no containing the delight that rushed through her at the sound of that howl. A more dignified wolf might have been able to contain the squeak that burst from her lips as she took off running -- no, lumbering mammothlike -- toward that voice, but Raven, well...she was not a dignified wolf. I mean, look at her. What part of this blimp-esque ridiculousness was in any way dignified?

She found Towhee after some short while near the boundaries of her glade, and was a walking disaster of joy as she approached. Gleeful giddiness literally made her rotund body vibrate and her tail couldn't possibly wag any faster as she stepped close to greet her sister with kisses on the chin. Later she would probably look back and think good lord, a little over the top Raven, but in that moment she was simply overcome by how damn much she missed Towhee and how happy she was to see her. She didn't even speak a greeting, but honestly, were words even really needed?
