The one where everything gets worse

Silver-blue eyes found his gaze and for a moment she let herself get lost in it. She too was feeling a constant ache in her chest, she had been for the past month as this time grew closer. Her original plan was to go back home and stay, but Lirim felt Like home as well as being around Torin. It was strange that she had felt that way. Before she had met Torin she had plans to be a roaming wolf even if she ever made it back to Abaven, now here she was with the leader of Lirim for a guide. She felt rotten every time she thought of the upcoming departure from her new friends and family. She just didn’t get why, or why she loved spending time with Torin so much. She looked forward to seeing him even if it may just be a passing glance as he headed out to patrol.

She looked back up to the canopy to keep herself from staring, not wanting to sour this time with him. She hadn’t realized he was still looking at her, even when he parroted her. When he spoke again her eyes fell back to his form again seeing his gaze focused on his paws. She was getting a sense that he too was upset by something. Surely it wasn’t over her leaving? Though she may find out a bit later when she shared her final desicion. She smiled at his offer and moved towards him lightly bumping his shoulder with her nose. She hated seeing him down in the dumps.

“Of course we can, I love that idea,” she said with a smile looking to his face.
