Safe And Sound

Outlaw’s reaction to Rigel has Meadow giggling and she watches the way he shows the owl his hat. Rigel makes small clucking sounds as the wolf tells the owl about his hat. Closer and closer Rigel inches until she tells him to leave it. An annoyed, disappointed hoot at her and the owl is circling over them again. Outlaw’s thanks is unnecessary, Meadow would not have allowed Rigel to do anything to her friend’s hat, but she smiles warmly and acknowledges it with a dip of her head. His talk of seagull friends has Meadow saying, “Oh that is great! Maybe you will make more seagull friends here.”

His questions about Resin has the small healer chuckling and she tells him, “Yes I have an older sister and, while she is friendly to those that need help, she is not like me. Resin has had some sad things happen in her life and they have stuck with her. But, when you meet her, don’t be afraid. She really just wants to help those who need it.” The scarred wolf’s face floats in her mind’s eye for a moment as she speaks of her. Meadow knows just how much Resin has been through but the older woman seems to be happier lately. Resin has found love, started a pack and is taking care of all those that come to seek her help. Meadow is extremely proud of her sister.

She slips away and buries the spoon, marking the spot with an X. Outlaw takes the bait, hook, line and sinker. Once more, guilt fills her stomach but she wags happily as he digs up the shiny spoon. Nodding at his assessment that the spoon must be special, she tells him, “I have heard that those are very special. They come from a time long ago. Before wolves ruled the land. I wonder what strange and wonderful things it was used for…” She allows her voice to trail off, trying to spark Outlaw’s imagination. While it is true she has no idea what it was used for, Meadow has come up with her own idea of what it is. It is a thingamabob that was presented to royalty as a gift. Yep, that is totally what it is.

Meadow gets ready to slip away again and bury something else when Outlaw stalls as he steps away from the hole. His question has her eyes widening and heart melting. This guy is so stinkin’ sweet. Outlaw has thought to include Resin in their treasure hunting and Meadow just wants to hug the wolf. How can someone so pure be in this world? A wide, bright smile appears and she tells him, “Well, I don’t know if Resin is much a treasure hunter but we can stop for now and return after we have asked her.” Moving to Outlaw’s side, Meadow nudges her friend and tells him, “Hey, no one could ever be mean to you. You are too kind. And, if someone is, you come see me. Okay?” She might not be a fighter but damnit, she would hurt anyone that made Outlaw feel bad.
