Let's make a night, you won't remember

Caelum's expression was soft, blue eyes serene as Sparrow came closer. The elder woman would seek to rest her chin atop Sparrow's head and draw the woman closer in a gesture akin to what she might do to calm Caelestis after a nightmare frightened the girl awake. What Caelum had hoped for in this mess she was no longer sure. All she did know was that it pained her to see the suffering of an Alpha making tough choices. No matter how much one might think they'd come to terms with the fact that this was part of the job, there were still times when it caught even the most world-weary off guard.

Pulling back a bit to better look at Sparrow, Cae gazed at her seriously, "We probably won't know for some time, but Sparrow, you did your best. That's all that matters. The hardest lesson in life is learning that sometimes there are no good answers, sometimes we are put in impossible positions. Your heart was in the right place, and that's all you can ask for." she hoped her words would be helpful in some way. Cae and Zephyr had never had someone to offer them help all those years ago, not really. It had been a learning curve, though the biggest lessons were the ones Caelum learned after it was taken away. Now though she just hoped to help Sparrow however she could.

As the child approached, Caelum cast a warm smile his way. It was one of... Lark's kids, yes. Caelestis had mentioned him a few times and She'd had seen him at the hunt. The kid was cute, naive and very young but cute nonetheless. "Worry not, I think she'll be fine." she said with a brief glance to Sparrow.

"It'll be okay, one way or another we can make things okay." the woman though, a trace of determination flickering over her face before disappearing as she mentally rejoined the group.
