Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!

Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

The original Ask Dawn And Vern Tumblr! This blog is a continuation/reboot of the "AskDawnAndVern" tumblr, as I am permanently locked out of the Tumblr at present.

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

20 Years Later; Ask Omari and Liz; Sam Hain Plans

Omari: Oh, we're heading for a weekend stay at the old Hunter Family Ranch.

Elizabeth: Well, not the whole weekend sadly. We do have to cut Sunday short so that I can convine with the orchestra early Monday Morning...*Sigh* Then it's two weeks in Roarope playing in Maris Prance.

Omari: *Chuckles* Only you could make two weeks in Maris Prance sound like a miserable chore my love.

Elizabeth: Because it's two weeks spent without you, halfway across Animalia. Maris just won't have that same shine without you with me Mari.

Omari: Then we'll just have to really do up our weekend and Grandpaw and Grandma's to make up for it, won't we?

Elizabeth: And after too...We do have my father's Harvest Feast cooking to look forward to.

Omari: Oooh...*Shakes head, wiping the drool forming on his maw with a paw.* Grandmaw and Uncle Xavier cooking under the same roof for Harvest Feast...there are no words for that kind of treat. Well and far beyond anything Sam Hain could offer.

Elizabeth: *Giggles* Well Sam Hain will still be fun. Getting together with all the cousins, eating all sorts of treats by Grandmaw and Malcolm...the costume contest...

Omari: Which we have in the bag this year, at least in 'our' generation bracket. *Chuckles Smugly* There's no way any of the other Hunter Girls will look as stunning as you do in your corpse bride costume.

Elizabeth: *Blushes* And nor will any of the boys look as handsome as you in your matching Victor costume.

Omari: Well, it's not as sharp as my super mammal costume, but it'll do.

Elizabeth: *Giggles* Do you still have that old thing? How would you even fit in it?

Omari: No, Mom has that. Part of her 'precious pup' collection of trinkets from when me and my brothers and sister were growing up. My first Sam Hain costume is vacuum-sealed as if it were a fine museum piece.

Elizabeth: *Sigh*, I do wish I still had...even a recollection of my first Sam Hain scare costume...though the more I think about it, I'm not sure my birth mother ever took me trick or treating...so my 'Phantom of the Opera' costume that my Dad's let me pick out was probably my first costume ever...

Omari: Oof...what a choice...I mean considering the Phantom's....tragic history?

Elizabeth: *Flicks a paw at Omari* I made the choice myself...despite my own...trauma...I've always been a musical theater girl and...well...I loved that story. It also was...well it was sort of a way for me to...embrace my features...and learn to live with them. I suppose that's why my Dad's didn't stop me from picking it...Still, I loved that costume. I think I wore it from the age of nine to twelve...at least until I couldn't fit it anymore. *Chuckles* It makes it a bit harder to tell from photos just what year it was taken without the old Furbook post date...

Omari: I still can't believe Furbook is limping along...it's so...archaic.

Elizabeth: Our parents and grandparents keep it propped up...and us, unfortunately. Forced to have accounts just to keep connected with the older Hunters. *Snickers* What can you do? Most of them aren't super tech-savvy these days.

Omari: *Pft...* Tell me about it, Mom is still struggling with a standard projector interface. I'm just glad Jabari can field all those 'tech support' calls from Mom, otherwise, I'd be next in line. *Snickers*
