Smoke Cat starts to say... something... before her lips become busy returning the kiss that this time meets her mouth. And although it is a very nice kiss, it is not quite the perfect one that either of them has been waiting for, because suddenly Summer Wind is jumping up and down, and Star Hawk is thumping Jonas on the back, and Wolf Calling is teasing the shaman that she must have many sons so that she can name them all after their father. "Thankfully," Jonas says, "Little Dove is taken."

"I'm done changing it," the man explains. "I don't owe anyone. I'm not running from anyone. I'm free, and my name is Jonas." At last she turns to face him, still held tight, and looks him in the eyes. "Gift from God," says Smoke Cat Watching. "I like it." "Good," he murmurs, kissing her forehead, her cheekbone. Lifting one hand, Jonas cradles the back of her neck, drawing her even closer to him with the other. Then he nips the tip of her nose with his teeth and her eyes fly open again.

"Why?" The question is hard, brittle. "Because," he replies very softly, "there are things I've been waiting over a year and a half to say to you, my Catkin" and his breath tickles her ear. "A new name," Smoke Cat remarks with no inflection at all. "What's yours this time?" "Jonas," he tells her, and stretching his luck, runs his hands down her arms and around her waist. The shaman's eyes are still closed and she has been motionless, concentrating on her breathing, but at this she quivers.

"I didn't let her come alone, Lady Cat," says someone from behind and slightly above Smoke Cat's head. The shaman closes her eyes and is silent for a long time. Finally she says, in a small, strange, tight voice, "I waited." Sure that he is close, she leans back against his chest in spite of herself. Encouraged, Jonas brushes aside her hair and puts his hands on her shoulders. "I know," he says. "I'm sorry." Seeing her family gathering, the man asks, "Is there somewhere else we can talk?"

Almost before she spies the girl, Summer Wind lets out a happy shriek, slides from her saddle, and tackles her sister, spinning her around and around. "Surprise!" she cries, looking very pleased with herself. The shaman smiles. "Yes, it is! I was just about to come to meet you. I don't suppose," Smoke Cat adds with a hint of tartness, "that there's any point in chiding you for traveling all this way by yourself, since obviously you're fine." Summer Wind grins broadly and backs a step away.
