A mark of change

The fire crackles and spits a few embers into the night air as its light dances around the pair. Keahi listens to the logs inside the firepit as they pop and hiss, the tropical wolf enjoying the warmth that fills the air around them. Blue eyes turn up to the tall wolf as the red woman listens to the Warlord’s offer. A small smile appears as she dips her head in thanks and says, “I would appreciate that, Sir. In the morning I will help with any chores that need to be done. And I promise to earn my keep and help anyone who needs it.” Another softer smile appears before her mouth opens wide as a yawn forces its way out. Wide, blue eyes blink in sheepish surprise as the wolf realizes just how tired she is.
