Among The Lilacs and Lilies

Hearing that her words comforted him in some way made her feel a little better. A small smile on her lips, and a faint wag of her tail. She truly wanted him to move forward with his plans on building a pack, and although she didn't know what that would fully consist of, she knew he would need numbers. Perhaps she could spread the word on her journeys, let others know of Branch's ideals and where to find him. It was a pleasant idea, and she could imagine this future alpha would like it too. It was the least she could do to support his cause... for the time being anyway.

What he said next caused the fawn woman to skip a beat. Mothers grave? Her head shot up at his words, searching his gaze for sincerity. "Would you really? Would you look after her for me?" To know that her mother's grave could go undisturbed... to live out eternity in peace... that would mean the world to Serene. Feeling so heartfelt at the gesture, the sandy woman felt heat building up in her face as tears rimmed her eyes. Before they could fall, she looked away, rubbing her cheeks into her shoulders and turning towards the herbs once more, trying to distract herself.

"I tried my best to lay her to rest... I buried her under an old willow tree with all of the herbs in her stock beside her. I spoke a few words... but I haven't gone to the Shrine for her yet." How could she? She had never gone to the Shrine without her mother, but to go alone completely? It was too much for her. Quickly she finished up her last bundle of boneset and carefully placed it inside his bag along with the others. She then sat back on her haunches, not knowing what else to do. "Thank you, Branch Wreckage."
