Lyric was in a good mood. Good things had happened! Words and sounds were all swirling around in her head, begging to be sung aloud. But the young doe had restraint, and patience! She could wait until she saw him again, so she could sing for him and let him know all of her lovely thoughts and feelings. It would be better that way, anyway. He would enjoy it better if he was the first one she told, if he got to share in the exciting news when she came back to him.

She took a few steps forward, before excitedly bouncing. No! She wanted to talk about it and sing about it now! She felt like she needed to tell someone as soon as possible or she would cry. Lyric was too excited, too full of that tight-wound anxious energy that came with having a good secret and no one to tell it to! He wouldn't be hurt if he wasn't the very first person she told, right?

Like a dream, or a coincidence, a pretty eaglehound appeared suddenly. Lyric paused her bouncing, for a moment, and tilted her head. "Hello! Would you like to hear a secret, or maybe a song? I can do one, or both." She laughed happily. An eaglehound would be different, it would still allow her to get out this wonderful energy she held and still let Like A Feather be the first to know, really.

She hummed a few notes to the eaglehound. A secret was a lot like a song, especially if no one else heard you sing.

@Ruriska

"You liked it!" It was less a question than a statement, Lyric assumed everyone liked her music, and the eaglehound's movements were clearly enjoyment. She wiggled in excitement and began to hum a little more, then singing a song. She smiled brightly, enjoying the breezy, silly words.

"We played for hours or days
Dancing all kinds of ways
Swaying in the breeze
And hiding near the trees

You laugh and make me smile
I would love to stay a while
We can look at the sky
Never wondering why

You think I'm very pretty
So I made a sweet ditty
I don't know your goals
But I think I'm having foals!"

Lyric laughed again. She said it aloud! Her little secret.

@Ruriska

Lyric gasped with delight as the hound transformed into a tall stag, and listened to him sing. A blessing for her children, more than she could ask for. Hopefully they would grow into bright, beautiful songs. Feather would be pleased to hear that too. "Your voice is lovely! Thank you for the blessing." She laughed and bowed her head to the stag. "If you ever want another song, I'd be happy to sing for you again, you're a great audience."
