She offered a nervous, vacant smile. So many emotions coursed through her veins every day that it was difficult to manage them all. It was more important to keep her eyes trained on the horizon, always staying one step ahead. She owed that to Shaye and she owed it to Abaven. Acere's words soothed her, if only a little bit. Shaye had been a figurehead of Abaven for so many years - Theo was sure that there were other wolves out there whom she'd met and would mourn her passing. The thought that they might not ever learn of her mentor's passing made her heart ache. "Thank you," she murmured, dipping her head gratefully. Treating her like an equal was the least another alpha could do, but she knew that these small victories would not be easily won. It would be an uphill battle to be taken seriously, but Shaye had believed in her. She would do her best to make her proud. His generosity was met with an earnest smile. "I can't tell you how much I appreciate that," she said seriously. Times were difficult and knowing that they had an ally in the north meant more than she could convey with words alone. "But please, first tell me about your family and how you've fared through the winter," she insisted. They could all do with a little good news. |
