Mel nervously shuffled next to the she-wolf, his muscular brawn acting as a crutch next to her lanky limbs, that trembled with each cautious step like a newborn fawn. He’d nearly blanched when Laeta mentioned she’d wished to stop by this event the Aegis had seemingly prepared - having been tired of being restricted to the castle grounds for so long, it would be a wonderful change of scenery. The plains were just so peaceful now, even as the events of the Long Night still left a bitter taste on her tongue - thank goodness fireflies weren’t anywhere to be seen. As the monochromatic woman approached, she realized she hadn’t seen her leader since, well, just before the Long Night had taken such a cruel hold on them all. He looked taller, more mature, yet had the same warm expression he carried when he first encountered the woman upon her joining all thise months ago. Ruby eyes looked at the male as she gingerly padded towards the festive layout, marveling over it before looking back st him with a wide smile. Mel stood quietly, not wanting to say much as he helped steady her on her weak legs. Her body looked bony, more hollowed than their initial meeting, and certainly not well yet - but her gaze held the most happiest of glimmers. "Artorias," She said, offering him a polite dip of her head - she was still still in her joints and neck, but nonetheless was able to take a seat at a respectful distance, "It’s been so long. What a wonderful setup you have here!" She prompted her badger to sit as well as he plunked down next to her, worriedly checking that she wasn’t going to fall over. They’d certainly walked a good distance from the castle, but it was clear she was brimming with pride at her accomplishments post-paralysis. She’d gone from barely standing up to walking, albeit heavily assisted, to the plains. It was no small feat, that was for sure. She waited for others to arrive, ensuring that the rest of the Carpathians would have room to sit by their brother. ”Speech” ’Thought’ |
