By the time that Dana woke up, everything felt different.
The situation seemed normal enough, as she was holding Skadi's human form in her arms, and there were still a half dozen bunnies in the room, so she hadn't been asleep for too long. But she felt much more tightly connected to the little forest lord than she ever had before.
Before she could sense the thoughts of all the beasts.
Now, she could almost sense the content of the little one's dreams as she mumbled happily. It was a crazy situation, and when she explored the link, she found that there was so much more to the bond now than there ever had been before.
Not just thoughts, but there were the emotions and something more to the bonds than there had been before.
This must be what Cara had meant by "one of us", Dana decided.
Skadi opened her golden eyes and smiled up at Dana. "Good morning. That was a pretty good party, what are we doing today?"
