Alise came out of the cottage, two steaming mugs of tea in her hands. She pauses and watches her children and Star for a moment, smiling at the images the twins send her of tante Star and her horse. Tomas is excited at the idea of any new animal and Tara just likes to spend time with Star and Mera.
As she heads towards Star with the tea, Panther emerges from the trees. The black cat lazily walks to Tomas and with a toss of her head knocks Tomas down on the grass, where he lays laughing so hard he cant get back up on his knees. Panther strolls to Tara and gently rubs her head against the little girl, purring loudly.
Alise hands a mug to Star and notices how pale and tired she looks. I suppose she is adjusting to taking care of Mera...but still, she seems so low on energy, so unlike her...Maybe I should ask Erik or Raina if they have noticed anything wrong...
“Do you suppose Raina sent her?” Alise cocks her head towards Panther who is now laying in the grass next to Tomas, her big head resting on his belly. All Alise can see of her son is his legs kicking and she was having a hard time talking over the sound of his laughter.
Star shakes her head, “No, she was just out hunting and came to visit.”
Alise nods, knowing better than to ask how Star knew that.
