Sooo sorry for being so late on this

The young woman was feeling cheerful lately, or at least more energetic than normal. The encounter that she had had with the coyote-jackal mix from Inferni a month ago was still clear in her mind, and she was still abuzz about it. Not as much with the action itself, but more with what it meant; she couldn’t really be called a girl anymore. She didn’t feel much different, though. She was still Pixie, walking through Thornbury with her guitar strapped to her back, humming a random tune as she walked towards Skye’s house. The only thing that looked physically different about her was the pair of moccasin-type shoes that she had scavenged on another trip to Halifax. It was amazing that she was even able to find a decent pair that managed to fit her large, Luperci feet.
She knew Skye’s pups were due any day now, so she approached the house of the Cercatori leader in a more calmly manner than usual. Judging from the lack of general commotion surrounding the house, she doubted the birthing was taking place at that very moment, but for all Pixie knew, Skye could’ve given birth a few days ago and was now trying to enjoy some peace and quiet. Or she could be just napping, as Pixie knew that pregnant females tended to do that a lot, based on her observations of her mother. She also knew from those observations that they tended to be cranky—another good reason to be more cautious than usual. So instead of walking casually through the door with a “Hey, Skye!” like she usually did, she knocked on the door and waited patiently for an answer, tapping a moccasin-adorned foot on the ground. She couldn’t even be sure if Skye was even in the house, though she was pretty sure that was the case due to her current condition. But if she wasn’t, it wasn’t a very big problem; Pixie could hang around for a bit, say hi to Mars or any of her other friends in the pack, and then come back a few days later for her lessons with Skye.
