Following the storm

Tamsyn willingly leaned into Sirius again when he pulled her to him and had a strange feeling come over her that her job had been done. There was still so much for her to process and this was really only the beginning, but she understood that this was so far beyond what she was capable of handling on her own. She hated that fact, loathed it, but it was the truth. Physically and mentally she was broken. Eventually she supposed she would have to heal. She had done it once, she could do it again, but the light at the end of this dark, dark tunnel felt so far away and was barely a pin point of light that continued to flicker in and out. She had gotten Sirius here and she hoped that it would be enough.

She listened as he spoke of facing Resin himself and her stomach twisted. She wanted to see Resin. She wanted to see her mate so badly. She just wanted to know that Resin still knew who she was, that the one wolf she cared about more than her own life wasn't completely lost to her. She had a feeling that she would never get that chance and that hurt more than anything else. She closed her eyes and leaned into him heavily as he told her that he wasn't going to leave, that Zee and Asla would look after the Armada, one of her forelegs lifting to wrap around him and hold tightly to her friend as if she might fall apart if she didn't. She felt guilty that she had pulled him away from his family and pack to be here, but was indescribably grateful that he had done so without her asking. He knew she would never ask such a thing of him, but it made her feel better to know he was here.

"Thank you," she said quietly after a moment, hiding her face as she tried to piece herself back together enough that she could let him go. "Sirius... Can you... Will you give Resin a message for me?" If she couldn't go and see her, then perhaps this would be the next best thing. She lifted her gaze to look at him, blinking away some of the tears still clinging to her mint eyes. "Please tell her... Tell her I still love her. Tell her that I don't blame her. That I... That if I can't see her again, if we can't fix this before..." Her voice trailed off, unable to complete the sentence. Before she was completely lost, before she passed away. "Tell her I'll see her again. Someday."
