Eyes wide open when you're dreaming
Spirit

The soft voice of Spirit soothed her soul in almost an instant, just the sound of his voice able to melt her stress away. She breathed out a soft sigh, although his answer left her with more questions, she decided to let it go. Fine was good enough, she supposed, and didn't want to push him further. Emotions were confusing enough as it were, and the two of them had been through quite the past few seasons. After they finally found home, their home was laid siege, and she had been forced to heal her children. Eulogy swallowed back the feelings that tried to rise in her throat, suppressing the memory of the scent of blood that had wrapped around both Desolate and Void. "Fine" was a rather decent answer then, in the long run. She just hoped that he would tell her if there was something more going on, knowing that all this change was a lot to take in. She had little time to further chew over his answer before he stated that he had found someone. Eulogy's ears pulled forward as she peered curiously into the den. He had said someone, not something, and she had to admit that she was eager to know who it was. She never liked the idea of leaving the boy on his own, they had grown quite close during their little, erm... adventure, that being away from him was like having a part of herself missing. But after returning to Abaven, she had bridges to mend with her other children, leaving Spirit to the wayside. It hurt her heart deeply, but the idea of him having someone else in his life was a welcomed relief.
Eu shuffled over a touch as the brown and white mottled boy came out to join her at the mouth of the den. A smile pressed on her lips for a moment as she leaned down to nuzzle behind his ear, pulling back just as he let out a little call. Blue eyes searched around the Plains, waiting to see who would arrive. What she wasn't expecting though, was for a little red and black bird with pretty white dots that settled across her son's back, nesting into his coat like she belonged there. Eulogy bent down slightly, sniffing at the little thing, but kept a respectful distance. What an adorable little critter, she rather liked it already. When Spirit said that he was going to call her Strawberry, an even wider smile split across her features. "I think Strawberry is a delightful name," she said softly, settling down beside Spirit as she gently jostled her shoulder against his own. "Where did you find such an adorable little creature? She seems quite taken with you," she commented, noticing the way that the bird was tilting its head at her. It seemed to have no fear of wolves, or it was just a very good judge of character. Her face wrinkled upwards as she made a soft cooing sound at the little bird, having an intense feeling of wanting to scoop it up and just pinch its tiny little cheeks. She hadn't been this enthralled with something since she had seen her own puppies, letting out a gentle giggle as she poked a little closer to this so-called Strawberry. "Welcome to the family, Strawberry," whispered the woman, humming softly as her chin rested on the top of Spirit's shoulder. Leave it to her gentle, soft spoken one to find quite the unlikely friend, but an adorable one none-the-less.
