Lunch on the docks was light and laughter, something Cai hadn't felt in a long while, at least since Nireck had vanished. Sebastian was a lot of fun, making her feel at home and making sure she ate her fill.
After they had parted ways, Cai took off down the seashore to walk and think. As far as she knew Nireck wasn't ever coming back, and she couldn't honestly say she really missed him. Sure it was hard to hunt as pregnant as she was, a job that a mate would usually share but Cailet hadn't even gotten used to that before he vanished.
"Is it wrong to have given up so easily?" She asked a passing gull.
"Nah! Nah!" The gull screamed back.
She continued walking down the beach, the wind blowing at her skirt, outlining the curve of her belly. She giggled a little and put a hand on the top of the curve purring softly to the child within.
"Well baby, we heard it on the wind, We move on."
