”If it would help, I can assure you you’re not in a dream, Fern,” She smiled, offering reassurance in her honey-smooth voice and soft eyes, ”You have worked so hard to get to where you are now. I don’t need to know you to such deep depths to know you are a dedicated warrior, and a kind-hearted one, too. That hard work, effort, and friendship is not so easily lost. A mere dream cannot conjure such relationships you’ve built with others, and on that matter, you will always have a friend in me to confide to, if you need it. The Hallows is a loving home for you, and that will never change.” As the girl continued afterwards, the woman’s heart broke at the sound of the girl’s sniffles. She frowned a brief moment, merely in sympathy. As Fern spoke, she began to hyperventilate. While Mel seemed alarmed, murmuring for the girl to take deep breaths in his own worried manner, Laeta would aim to gently place one of her paws on top of Fern’s, the way one might hold another’s hand in comfort. ”Take a deep breath, dear Fern,” She said soothingly. ”Losing the ones you loved, or a life you’ve built before, is one of the most painful things anyone can experience in their lifetime. I understand." She paused, allowing her words to sink in. Once Fern would calm down, she added with her soft, comforting smile curling her lips again, ”Though we can never replace what he have lost, we can build ourselves up again. We can build new opportunities, new adventures, and meet new people. We can build a new hope that this life will again being us the happiness we once lost. You have found that happiness, so hold onto it. Hold onto it tight, and never let it go. It is the very light that will keep you going, even when the path ahead of you seems dark. ” She glanced up at Fern’s pained eyes, her tears, her fear. She reminded Lae of a younger version of herself - casted out from her pack for reasons she never quite understood, having to rebuild her sense of identity and purpose. Like a phoenix rising from its ashes, she had found her happiness, and Fern would surely find her own. ”Change is scary, Fern. Life changes in ways we cannot anticipate. But holding onto what you value most, and hold on to people you’ve met here, and those changes might not be so scary.” She hoped her words rang some truth, for she was speaking partially from her own experience at Fern’s age. She wouldn’t say she was old, but she certainly had endured a lifetime of experiences, some of which she hoped Fern would never have to endure herself. Her legs trembled slightly from exertion, and the woman shifted back in her haunches briefly, but only to allow soace for Fern to process her words and her own feelings in the moment. ”Speech” ’Thought’ |
