She grinned at his gentle bump against her, her tail waving gaily behind her as she felt pride rising for herself at his praise. "Indeed, this is always the best trophy ever! I wanted to get out, but I had to do it on my own, and the best way to do that was to dangle the proverbial carrot in front of my face. In this case, my carrot is you." She licked his cheek and looked around, noting the multi-colored darkness of the sand. "It's so pretty here! How did you manage to find it? I followed your scent here, so, that's how I found it." She giggled again, feeling much more like herself.

She had put on a good amount of weight, and she could feel her body catching up to the healing of the rest of her. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling of slight anxiety, knowing there were wolves out there who could cleave her from her home in a flash was unnerving. Stardust always found strength in the one wolf who had always been there for her through everything. He was her best friend, the keeper of her secrets, the other half of her soul and she was glad that she had finally found her way back to him. Now, she was wiser and had more of a wary approach to strangers than she had before.
