Almost Paradise

She seemed to be amused by how he was acting, which was a huge relief. He let out a breath that he hadn’t realized he was holding, his heart settling a bit in his chest. Good! He had been so worried that he was going to offend her or something, he had no idea how to handle himself in situations like this. He was not acting his age, which was…. Really silly. He was a grown ass man and here he was acting like a teenager. But when she said that it was better than others, he wondered if other wolves had made fun of her for her blindness. It made his lips twitch at the thought, and he almost wanted to ask what had happened. Chewing on the thought for a bit, he decided to drop it. It would most likely bring up bad memories and that wasn’t his goal here. He kept it in the back of his mind, maybe he would ask her at some other time. He was thankful when she asked about herbs, taking his mind off his thoughts. He had to think about that, Finch had said something about keeping up with Starlings supplies. "Some of my kids have been keeping track of it, but I am pretty useless when it comes to plants and stuff. You should talk to Finch or Starling, most our other healers haven’t been around much," Finch wasn’t even a healer, she just liked pretty things. Apparently some herbs were pretty, something that he just didn’t understand.

Bass’ ears perked as his tail wagged at her words. She really did want to join? Oh good, he was afraid that all of his healers were going to disappear. She was blind, she couldn’t go too far. Oh gods, that was a bad joke. He stifled a laugh, instead turning to gaze at her unseeing eyes. "Really? That’s fantastic!" He said, unable to hide the excitement in his voice. From their bit of talking he really liked her, more so now that she had calmed him down a bit. But that bird, he wasn’t too set on him. He glared up at it then, baring his teeth at it. Stupid feathered butt.
