surely not today

Tamsyn felt certain now that fate was putting these strong women in her life for a reason. Zee had stopped her from sending herself over the cliff’s edge that night. She had brought her here and ended up giving her a home. Because of that she was able to meet Resin and was able to find someone she could truly connect with - someone she felt she could confide in and know she would understand. For so long it had felt like the world was stacked against her and all of the sudden it seemed to be turning around. She wasn’t sure what she had done to warrant this change in her life, but she wasn’t going to start complaining now.

She have Resin a small, thankful smile when she was told that she would be able to learn to defend herself. She prayed so deeply that she’d never have to see his face again, but if fate decided that her luck was over and he did somehow find her... she wanted to be ready. She most certainly wasn’t going down without a fight. Not this time. She had a feeling that even if her best efforts were not able to fend him off she would still have Resin there to back her up and for that she was endlessly grateful. Even though they had just met, it somehow felt like she had known her for ages and could trust her with her life. Maybe the fact that she had so few wolves in her circle I’d trust had something to do with it, but Tamsyn was convinced it was more than that.

The dark coated woman had no concept of how much time had passed and didn’t realize how late it had gotten until Resin stood and shook her fur, clearly preparing to head back. Even though her mind was still going a hundred miles an hour and she was sure sleep wouldn’t come easily tonight, she got to her paws as well. She nodded in response to Resin’s question, adding, ”Yes, I’ve been staying in the dens by the bonfire for the last couple of nights. I was planning on looking for something more permanent in the morning. Maybe I can come see you after I’m done settling in... You know, to start training!” As she asked to see the larger woman again she quickly realized it wasn’t at all for the training that Resin had promised. The reality of it caught Tamsyn too off guard and made her too nervous to admit. She tried to add on the clarification to hide her thoughts, but she wasn’t entirely sure it landed. Her ears flicked back as she smiled, feeling that blush warm her face under her fur again. Without waiting for Resin’s answer, Tam stretched up to press her nose to the larger woman’s cheek. “Thank you,” she said sincerely before darting off, running back into the pack lands before she could embarrass herself any more than she already had. She had been right about her assumption that she wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but the thoughts that kept her up were much happier than the ones that typically haunted her.
