Goldendale suffers from a moment of uncertainty when shi finally meets hir mother for the first time since shi was transformed from a human to a chakat. How will hir mother react?

Of course she is happy that her child has survived what could have been a fatal incident, even if in a new body. Their reunion will end in hugs and tears of happiness.

The background is fanciful - the actual scene took place inside Goldfur's home.
