Oh, Simple Thing, Where Have You Gone?

Eyes follow Naiche smile resting easily on her lips as the wheat colored wolf makes his way under the protection of the canopy. For a moment, she feels slightly guilty that she had not taken the time to get to know the wolf better before her departure from the Armada. While she had taken care of his wounds after the incident with the lion, Meadow had not actively sought him out to talk. Regret for time lost and things unsaid settle over her for moment but she does not allow the feeling to dampen her smile.

As he lays down and talks with her, Meadow understands that she cannot rewind time and take back what is lost but she can go forward from here. Nodding to his observation about the hot springs, she says, “Yes, very much so. But it is worth it. The water promotes healing and relaxation for those that need them.” Her question about him getting into trouble has Naiche grinning wide and she narrows her eyes at him, knowing he has gotten into trouble. His words do little to reassure her. That and the thinner fur on his front shoulder.

Eyes close as a soft laugh escapes and she shakes her skull in a disproving but amused way. Looking back to him she says, “Well, just don’t go and get yourself hurt too bad. Might get a scolding from Iolaire if you do.” Tossing him a wink, Meadow feels another pang of homesickness at the thought of her niece. While the hot springs are quickly becoming home for her, the Armada will always be the first place that welcomed her with open arms. For a moment, Meadow’s smile dims as she thinks of them all but quickly brightens so that Naiche will, hopefully, does not notice the momentary lapse.

His talk of her hut has her nodding in agreement and she tells him, “Well, it has gotten some good use already. But that is what is was made for, right? You should come and see it sometime! Not as a patient but as a guest.” Eyes sparkle with amusement at her quip and she giggles briefly before answering his question, “Yes, they are. It seems like there are many wolves that wanted or needed a pack like ours. I guess that Resin started it at the right time.”

Now it her turn for questions. With a slight tilt of her head, she asks, “And what news do you have about the Armada? Everyone okay? Tell me everything I have missed, please.” Her eagerness is plain to hear and wide, enthusiastic eyes watch Naiche with curiosity. She needs to know.
