Faite was more than understanding, and Solveiga fought hard to swallow back the lump that rose in her throat. But, despite her efforts, tears began to shine in her eyes. She was surprised she had tears left to shed. "I've never felt so much grief before, Faite, I don't really know how to handle it all yet," she admitted in a whisper. She had no biological family to speak of. But she had this pack. This pack was her family. Faite, and Báine, and Luck, and little Laisrén... all of them. And Regulus, too, wherever he was. She had to believe that they would be there for her.
But she needed to be there for them, too, and she just wasn't in that place right now. "You have no idea what that means to me, hearing that you consider me family." Solveiga said softly, lifting her blue eyes to Faite once more. "I don't want to leave this place permanently. I've never had a better home, it's just..." After taking a deep breath, she spoke again. She just hoped that what she was suggesting wouldn't upset Faite in any way. "Do you think it would be possible for me to take a break? Leave Celestial for a while, take some time to grieve and get back to feeling like myself again? And then, when I'm feeling better, I'll return," she promised. "Would I have your blessing?"
