A Long Time Coming

The children were ushered awake rather quickly, told that there was a meeting being held shortly that they were expected to attend to. Not that it took much convincing -- the children of Bronze and Silent all seemed alert and curious, full of life and hardly rebellious by any means. With a smile she wriggled upright, tail wagging in a steady beat behind her. It took very little convincing to get her to follow her mother gladly. She loved the idea of getting to observe all of her pack; the girl was rather shy at times, and didn't get to converse with others nearly as much as she wanted.

With a slight hop to her step, she padded along near her mother, glancing back to see her father trailing in their wake. Mercury and Faolan rushed forward, hardly able to contain themselves -- she giggled softly, loving how full of energy they were. Before long they reached the gathering, which was full of hushed conversation. Quietly she slipped between her mother and father, coming to rest on her hindquarters with a soft bark at her siblings.
