But she lost all focus as Tharaman came closer and within Frostmarries borders.

Thirrin grinned and could almost see Tharaman's answering purr.

"He's here!Tharaman's here!" she whispered in pure joy and started jumping up and down again.

"Thirrin, you might want to have a good impression on our half, but I wouldn't know, though if you want to keep some dignity, then stop bouncing like a spring!"Oskan said impatiently,"on second thoughts it might be some kind of disease, I wouldn't know, gotta remember and check it with wenlock witchmother." he added thoughtfully.

Thirrin opened her mouth to retort, but another fanfare rang out, meaning they had to go and meet their guests.

Thirrin and Oskan moved towards the towering leopards with a steady trot. Thirrin jumped off her horse immediately, but Oskan took his time and therefore his jumping off was more of a slow and careful definition.

They both ran and hugged the huge leopard throwing all the dignity left away, but they didn't care.

"Welcome back to Frostmarris!" Thirrin squealled.

"She's always late to these sort of things" Oskan said with experience to Tharaman, "she always threats you to get up early and dress, be here on time and all sort of those things, but amazingly, she's always the last one here" and he sighed shaking his head.

Tharaman looked at Oskan with amused eyes but then looking over him he added, "I may not be the sort of leopard to know the differences with your kind, but you Oskan look good for a male human."

Oskan blushed 'um...thankyou?" it turned out like a question, but before Tharaman could say anything, a bugle ran out.

Oskan knew what would happen next, but he would never get over the shock of her beauty.

In came Thirrin Freer Strong-in-the-arm-Lindenshield Wildcat of the North, in a dress that matched her eyes perfectly. She was turning fifteen today.

It was absolutely impossible to believe that only last year they were all worrying about the possibility of a war. Well that war was well and truly away from them now, and so they could just enjoy a good Yuletides day.

After she finally reached her dais, Oskan forced himself to look away from her slight figure and stare at the now terribly amused Tharaman. Trying to change the subject, he finally said, "Where's Maggie?"

Thirrin, who for her part had found it hard to look away from Oskan, shook away from her reverie and replied, "Yes. Where is he?"

Tharaman and Taradan, who had been enjoying themselves immensly, were very disappointed at the change of subject.

"Probably pestering Olemnenon about something."Tharaman muttered.

The two humans both shrugged.

Someone coughed behind them and when they turned to look they saw it was Maggiore Totus looking at one human face to another leopard's face annoyingly.

"I'll have you know," he said "that I was telling Olemnenon about how long it will take for my work to be fnally finished."

'What did I tell you?"Tharaman said winking.

Maggie ignored him and instead his attention turned to Thirrin and Oskan.

"So, you are turning fifteen." He said with a kind smile to Thirrin, "How does that make you feel?"

Thirrin shrugged and said, "Another year has passed."

"And you, my boy, you have already turned sixteen." Maggie said nodding to Oskan, "It is amazing we are all here."

Thirrin's expression was suddenly filled with sadness and she whispered quietly, "Not everyone." and thought about her father, aunt and all the other people she would never see again.

Oskan saw this, and trying to regain her happy mood on her birthday, he suddenly jumped to his feet and pointed to the doors,thanking the Gooddess for the perfect timing and shouted, "Grishmak is here!"

Thirrin grinned as the doors burst open and smiled at Oskan. He always knew how to make her feel better.

Oskan grinned back and felt better as he saw Thirrin's happy face.
