These are the things

A voice would startle her but the familiarity of it would cause her not to jump in the air. She turned to see the pregnant queen before her. After having a somewhat successful conversation with Frith, she knew that no danger would ever present itself to her when she was around the leading pair. She dipped her head in greeting, managing words that weren’t stuttered. “Hello Novella.” The voice was soft and almost inaudible as she looked out at the bay. These improvements were major and she was fairly proud of herself for it. The water slowly lapped at her feet as she spoke for the comment about the night sky.

“The night is always beautiful, but more so when it is over water.” Again, she surprised even herself with the lack of stutter present in her voice as the dust covered femme turned with a soft smile. She was unsure if the woman could have heard any of the things she had said for she had spoken in a mezzo piano voice. Her tone had been more confident than before, keeping it steady as her words had spilled out. Her siblings couldn’t touch her here. With a deep breathe she pulled her paws from the chilly water and sat down just out of its reach. Would she shock the queen with these newfound reactions? She wasn’t entirely sure it would be enough.
