at least it's a very comfortable couch

Summer came and with it, the long night faded out of existence. The world moved ahead quickly in the absence of darkness and ooze; prey was beginning to rebound as were the predators, her children were growing up once more, and another one of her daughters had moved away. Injuries slowly healed, leaving some wolves looking like nothing had happened and others like they'd been through war. Zee had got off worse then most, but better then others. Scars tore across her torso to match the long-healed wound upon her neck, but no mushrooms upon her face had left marks as they fell away. It was more for her to hide, she supposed, but as long as Zee could maintain some semblance of pride she would survive. It was rare she ever shrugged off her king-cheetah pelt armor, for it hid not only the scars but the outline of her ribcage.

The voice outside the door woke her from her thoughts, her toucan giving a croak of welcome. Aris' presence was always an appreciated surprise, especially now that Zee found herself short another daughter in company. "Of course." As a pup the small girl was always feisty, with an attitude complained about by family, pack members, and teachers alike. Zee was fond of her daughter's spirit and energy, as it reminded her of herself. Sirius had fallen in love with a back-talking, say-what-you-want slave, and while she had settled and displayed restraint with age, she could not fault her daughter for not yet learning those lessons. "What's on your mind, Ari?"
