She hadn't been able to find Rhyme before she left the territory. He would probably be mad but she had sent Alma to find him if she could. Tana just wasn't one to bother anyone for an escort. Plus truly she was only barely out of the territory. She wanted to stretch her legs and she had basil with her. He was leading her towards something he had seen in the distance but of course he knew she wouldn't see it.

Her gut was starting to expand already, though it was only barely noticable at this point to others, she had taken notice. Soon they would be able to tell how many, and she looked forward to that. She had already started to slowly dig out a den at the base of the maple, knowing winter could be deadly to their pups if she didn't dig a den to protect them from the elements.

They stopped at the edge of the cliffs and tana laid with her paws overhanging the cliff and basil in the curve of her side. He was watching the meteor shower. Tana of course wasn't able to.

Imperia and Solitude both stood on Rhyme’s back. The two of them were becoming oddly affectionate. Their tweezer like beaks groomed each other with loving accuracy. Solitude was almost as big as Imperia at this point, almost old enough to be called an adult. A teenager. He had stopped in his path, watching the two of them when Alma was suddenly there. The tiny primate was ready to lead him towards Tana, who had left the territory. He sighed, she was trying to drive him to drink. He took off in the direction Alma indicated, with her riding along with Solitude as Imperia had took to the air as usual. Tana had started to make a den at the base of the maple, and he hadn’t stopped her. Knowing the pups wouldn’t do well out in the open like he preferred. They were really going to have to start preparing for pups, a fact he hadn’t quite come to terms with. He continued further, finally having Tana come into sight, her form lingering on the edge of the cliff with the brilliant sky looming over her. He slowed, eyes bright in wonder as he took in the sky and made his way towards the mother of his future children. ""
