Hakuna Matata

Dragon replied with a small smile. Sparrow returned the gesture before realizing that its meaning would be entirely missed. Sparrow cleared her throat in correction.

"That's good to hear," she said, opting for a verbal response.

He asked if Abaven was doing alright and Sparrow nodded while thinking.

"Things are... good," she said a bit hesitantly.

She could smell that he was no longer alpha. Her expression changed.

"I've heard about the Abraxas," she said, her voice almost hushed. "I heard what they did to Dragoste, too. We have some of the old members now residing here."

Her statement was also an offer in disguise. She didn't want to insult the ex-alpha, but she wanted to offer him a place to rest and recover if he so needed. Perhaps not a member, but as a refugee.

Alas, Dragon was strong. He probably did not need her pity or her shelter, so she kept her offer as a statement.

"Can you tell me about it? I need to protect Abaven when- if the time comes."
