Karai

The moon-dusted sprite came trotting back into the territory, dragging a carcass behind her. A fat, inattentive mountain goat had hopped right into her path, and now she brought it home. It wasn't much, but it would feed their small pack. Dropping the corpse, she let out a howl to gather the pack.

Moon Spirit

Her eyes were alight with happiness as she trotted back to her homelands from the breeding grounds. She was pregnant once more with more pups. Happiness radiated from her and she yipped warmly as her eyes fell upon Karai. She nuzzled her friend warmly and grinned "Welcome home, my friend." Were her only words.

Karai

She watched her friend come, smiling softly. How often she had wished that their lives could always be this way: happy, without the many cares that seemed to track Moon Spirit and herself. But she set such thoughts aside to return the affectionate nuzzle, smiling more confidently now. Hello, Moon Spirit. I brought lunch. Not much but I think it'll feed our little pack, don't you?

Azul

I think it will b a feast for us
Azul's voice was the first to be heard the strength having returned to it greatly. Coming up beside his mate he nuzzled her shoulder looked to Karai and smiled how are you holding up?

Karai

Karai smiled at Azul. She had missed this kind soul as much as Moon Spirit, and was glad to see him well and whole. Ears perked at his question, and the smile remained on her face, unwavering. Her life in the Valley had held many joys, and as many sorrows. She'd learned to control her features and project only that which she desired. So it was with that smile still on her face that she spoke. As well as may be, Azul, my thanks. How have you all been without me?

Moon Spirit

A soft smile spread across the mothers lips. "Lonely. Life is boring without you here to keep us all company, Karai." Her eyes were alight and warm with happiness to have both her mate and her best friend here by her side. Life was good. "What about you, my kind friend?"

Karai

She let the smile grow just a touch lonely, and spoke softly. I have missed all of you, more than I can say, Moon Spirit. It times of peace, when there were pups for me to nurture and things were good and sweet, I was happy. And I am still happy, I suppose... but of course, it is not like being home.

Her look was a little wistful as she went silent. The wolves at Eytan's pack had been kind, and while there were pups in the packlands and wolves to help the silver vixen had been perfectly content. But Sedge Creek would always be home, as Azul and Moon Spirit would always be family.

And of course there was Kali... there was always Kali. The silver fae had head out her heart to the dark lady, only to have it broken again. She shook her head at herself, not noticing until she had completed the movement that she had done so. Foolish of me, she thought to herself. Every time I risk caring, someone tears gouges in my heart. But still, I care anyway...

Finally she smiled softly, her voice low and the warm genuine. I am the better for seeing you both alive and well, my friends. I've missed you both.

Azul

the hunter smiled to Karai and looked to Moon Spirit.
Well if you want pups to nurture I can think of a few soon to be
there was a happy grin on his face.
