A figure dressed in sea-blue enters the den, knowing eyes resting on the Silver hide of the mother. The Kilven's paws were torn and not well cared for, so this one had to be wild. Fern takes in the scene of the mother standing protectively over her cubs, baring her teeth at the hopefuls, her expression fierce and somewhat confused. The others wishing to link must have run in and startled her. Fern reflects scornfully. Sometimes people just don't think about what a Wild can do to them if startled. She almost shakes her head in disgust, but catches herself and remembers not to make any sudden movements or loud noises when approaching a mother with young. Especially a mother unlinked. Slowly, Fern enters the main den, keeping under the light sifting in through the entrance so she would be noticed before she spoke. The Coinshifter casts a quick glance at the cubs then speaks to the mother, averting her gaze to the Silver's pelt and not looking her in the eye.

"Your loveliness is all the more radiant when shining by the light of the stars, Silver one. And like the stars are your cubs, for they, too, have light all their own." Fern smiles, her voice full of respect as she continues to speak. "Indeed, this den resembles the night sky, like a reflection in a sacred pool." A scene comes to Fern�s mind of a picture in a book she once read. It illustrated the moon as a woman�s face, full of loving as she gazed down at the stars. The stars themselves resembled children�s faces, and they smiled up at their mother. Fern had loved that book, and it had taken a lot to keep her cool when it had been lost. But she had managed to stay calm and find it. Unfortunately, the book had later been destroyed in a fire. She would have to find another copy someday.... Bringing herself away from memories of old, Fern speaks once more to the mother, her words laden with serious tone. "It would be an honor to attempt to bond one of your starlets. May you know that I would never restrain them from soaring free across the skies, or go against any wish important enough to them that they would be genuinely saddened at its not occurring." With those final words the Coinshifter bows and recedes back to the wall to stand among the others.
