Duck Lake everyone together

Journey's heart gave a wild spasm as her uncle and Steph shared a tender touch. She thought of her own mother and father and wished quite dearly that they could still be together, and then poitnedly did not think about how she might like something like that for herself one of these days.

Very quickly, it was time to shift her focus to the hunt. "Got it," she agreed, doing a quick dance around the older woman that ended with a shy nuzzle to Steph's chin. She hoped that Uncle Sunny and Steph would be proud of her, now. Ritual performed, she raced off to put herself in position, waiting to see that the others were ready to receive their bounty with one ear cocked toward Steph in anticipation of the signal.
