Baited Breath

The chase was a good one, filled with laughter and squeals from both parties. As they neared the river, Sparrow slowed, saying she needed a drink. Ashmedai could agree to that. Wordlessly, both wolves drank the water and drank in the scenery. A while passed between the two in the warm evening. Finally, Sparrow turned to him. He knew what was coming. She needed to go. She told Ashemdai just that and he nodded, "Come visit me before you leave okay?" he asked. He didn't want to say goodbye here and now. He didn't want this evening to end on a, "Well I might never see you again but I had fun so, you know," note. He wanted to know he would see her once more before he said goodbye maybe for good.
