The girl responded kindly to Laeta’s surprise, and nonetheless the two of them settled amongst the gardens. It was a peaceful day, no doubt. When Fern mentioned they could explore some nearby waterfalls when her strength returned further, Lae’s gaze sparkled brightly. "That would be lovely, Fern. I’ve always enjoyed waterfalls," She replied warmly. She certainly missed the feeling of wet moss beneath her toes, the spray of the roaring water on her fur, and the massive caverns they oftentimes held around them. Certainly something she would aspire to venture to with her friend someday. Mel, on the other hand, kept himself from murmuring worriedly at that mention - he was more of a homebody, as it seemed. Upon mention from Fern that Puff was sleeping and would join them later, Lae smiled in understanding. "I’ll be looking forward to seeing her once she’s up then! She’s quite a fun character." The stoat was never dull to be around, and neither was Mel - he was fun in his own, Mel way.

However, it was Fern’s deflection that left the older woman’s concern lingering on her features. No, Fern wasn’t all okay, she knew that for certain. Laeta read other wolves like scholars read books - seeing beyond the pages to the real meanings of words beneath. Just as she saw the lingering sadness in the girl’s bright eyes. She expected the woman to deflect, and decided to try and pry gently. Just a little further. She even seemed like there were things in her mind, and Lae noted the uneasy shifting and biting of her cheek with a soft tilt of her head. A soft, sympathetic expression crossed her features, as if hoping to try and bring her comfort of some kind. Upon seeing the heavy sword on the girl’s back, Laeta first mentioned, "The sword on your back seems a tad heavy. Maybe you’d like to take it off for a bit? There’s nothing wrong with taking a little break now and then," She said, smiling softly. Perhaps it would prompt the girl to relax a bit more - the sword on her back certainly could create pressure, and perhaps aggravate her anxiety within. Maybe it was a metaphor for her struggles, sitting heavy upon her back. It didn’t look all the comfortable. With a pause, she added, "Don’t worry about me, Fern. I find myself rejuvenated - I have so much kindness I wish to return to the pack that took me in and cared for me - so with this kindness, I wish to help you." Her brow crinkled slightly as she added, "I know how it feels to not want to burden others. But I promise your worries are anything but that - and it may help to share your struggles so that you don’t have to shoulder them alone." Oh, how her words echoed her mother’s so perfectly. It was as if she could feel her spirit around her, guiding her towards a better purpose in this pack - one that help to relieve the hurt and pain her packmates carried in their minds.
