“It has been a battle for us, but one worth the fight.” Gavroche managed a small smile at this. It was hard to believe that, after years of running and fighting, they were truly free. Free of the wolves who hunted them and would rather see them a bloodied corpse on the ground than alive. When he was younger the threat of the Empire loomed over him, making it hard to sleep at times. Were it not for Melanthios when he was young, and later Bellamy before she became his mate, he wouldn’t have lived near as long as he had. He was grateful for Bells, and while she had her faults, as all wolves did, he wouldn’t change her for the world.

“I appreciate the honesty, Eden. And, perhaps this might come off strange, but a giddy Bells just seems... strange in my mind.” He let out a soft chuckle. “So cannabis is likely not going to be an option. I think we’ll manage though. She is nothing else if not notoriously stubborn. She wants to get better so we’ll find a way.” His ears twitched thoughtfully. He had been guilty of giving Bellamy a bit too much of the valerian root when she had had her latest episode in an attempt to get her calm and sleep…

“Most of her childhood, into being a young adult. Unfortunately, the events of what happened during that time are well ingrained. I know the trauma will be with her til the end of her days but as a healer and her mate, it’s my duty to ease her suffering in any way I can. Treating her during an episode will be the tricky part, which makes trying to find something for preventive care all the more important.” Gavroche drew in a breath, glancing down at James before lifting his attention back to Eden and smiled again.

“Bellamy is a fighter, she won’t give up, not after all we’ve been through.” His tail wagged a little. “Sometimes being someone’s partner you need to take the bad times with the good. It’s not always easy, and there will be times you won’t get along and drive each other nuts, but in the end, it’s all worth it. You both become stronger for it.” He glanced towards the remaining stalk of lavender.

“Why don’t you talk this stalk back for your pack? Actually,” He paused, having a thought.

“We could harvest this and, if you like, I’d be happy to help you find some more motherwort or other herbs as well. The search would go easier with two sets of eyes rather than one. I could use some herbs to stock up on myself. That is if you’d like. I don’t want you to feel like I’m forcing the idea. Or, if you don't mind the company, we could merely continue to talk as well. My mate is wonderful, but sometimes I forgot how much I enjoy speaking with others too.” By this point James was clambering back onto Gav’s shoulders, remaining politely silent for now.
