Moonspear ring of fire

Was waiting to see if the others would join! Y'all are still welcome to hop in, but I'm gonna get this guy moving :)

 

It was only Antares and Dragomir who came to meet her, the latter somewhat of a surprise (albeit not at all an unpleasant one). Sniffing the air in quiet bursts, Hydra discerned that the rest might be off with either her sisters or their father, each of those scents strong here. She had hoped the eldest among Moonspear's cubs would be here, and luck was in her favor; he gave no indication that he recognized the other stench of trespasser upon her, though she also imagined the bloodscent of food would reach him first. 

Pleased to see him invite Antares to play, Hydra watched with apt interest for the way in which her son would respond. It was a lighthearted moment against the recent events that they had experienced, and Hydra was content to let it play out. Dragomir was one of them, and a cub within their ranks to boot; despite not being her own child, he was treated no differently than one by now. He had remained, and worked hard, as she expected each of her children to do when they could; it seemed now was a turning point for their progress, where they had a better grasp for things and could travel further with their family. 

Hydra stretched for a moment, thinking again of the borders; as she rose, her gaze panned back to the two cubs. Perhaps it was not yet time for Antares and the rest to go to them when one had trespassed so recently; rising, and heartily shaking her furs, the matriarch looked to see their progress with mute interest. She could still educate them both on border etiquette, and what she would never accept from any—them included, should they ever make the error of trespassing in another territory. Hydra would raise them to be wiser than that as best as she could.
