It was not usually a hard task to find Seafoam Voices, being the only acha in their little tribe, and certainly the only one who had the spirit to sing so beautifully. The rest of the tribe -- her children, mostly, Meets noted with a slight twinge of regret -- were stubborn, determined, goal-driven, power-hungry, or quiet and solitary. She loved them all -- but perhaps she had not been the best mother she could be to them.
Seafoam Voices, however, was going to be a fabulous mother. Watching the little acha dance her way out onto patrol with Shortened Way these past few months, full of that excited delight with life which seemed to infect all acha but doing her best to restrain herself in deference to Shortened Way's own quiet temperament, brought a simple pure joy to Meets-the-Sea's heart. Although she prided herself on being able to see more than meets the eye, she would not have predicted this coupling -- but the acha brought out an inner sweetness in her son that had been long hidden, one that clearly made him happier than he had been in a good while. She had even seen what could almost be described as a smile on the solemn buck's face the other day!
Yes, Seafoam Voices would make an excellent mother, and Shortened Way -- with her influence -- would certainly prove a caring father. And a few young ones would bring new life to the tribe that was sorely needed. Now she simply needed to find Voices and bestow on her a very heartfelt blessing.

I know we didn't finish the RP yet but I thought I'd get this started so I can give Patmos a link at least...hope that's okay!
