The last thing Ralla had expected that day was to hear a familiar voice call from the pack borders. Twitching her ears from where she was resting, the white wolfess pushed herself laboriously up and let her ears swivel to hear the call in full, happiness dawning on her gentle face and in her forest green eyes. Slight paws begin their trek to the chain link fence she had gone to so often in the recent days, hope welling in her chest. A few months ago, a pup she used to play with had gone away with her mother, and Ralla had not seen or heard from them. Now... Is it...?

And lo and behold; there stood a face that Ralla remembered, even if it was older than before and more world-wizened. Ducking under a part of the chain link fence large enough for a wolf but large enough that a wapiti could not cross, Ralla continued her walk to the young girl, arms outstretched for an embrace. "Nihi uha ehena gasohi!" Although her stomach protruded, heavy with pups, Ralla could not just stand by without a greeting to this woman who had once been her friends young daughter. There before her was Desiree Noelle, the pup she had played with when she had first arrived. There in front of her was a young woman who Ralla had missed, and who the tribe had missed. Ralla knew she must look a tad odd, with a stomach like hers and makeup still on her eyes from the ceremony the day before; but still, her heart was happy to see a familiar face return. Spring was truly wonderful. "We have missed you, Desi," the snowy wolfess said, using the pet name she had learned to call the other by. "Where have you been? How is your mother?" Although different in coloring, there was no denying that Desiree reminded Ralla of her mother, who, speaking of... "Where is your mother?"

Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks.
