The Summer Bonfire

Audra would let Gloom lead. She believed it would help Gloom's confidence if they went at Gloom's pace. There was nothing wrong with that either. To Audra, it was actually pleasant going slower. Every day was a new adventure with Gloom at her side. While she carried out her own duties when needed in the infirmary (the Carpathian offspring seemed to always be injured, weird) Audra made sure to spend the rest of her time with Gloom. Whether they were in their room or out adventuring, one would most likely not find Audra without Gloom these days.

As they entered the plains where the pack and guests mingled, she couldn't hide the smile. Last year was so much different compared to this one. Last year, she had been the one to lead Gloom to the group and set them off to the side where they wouldn't be bothered. Now, while still off to the side, their spot wasn't as far away and that sparked an even happier feeling within Audra. They were making progress! And while her own feelings were slowly mending and blossoming, she was happy to sit with Gloom. Actually, she was comfortable enough to even cuddle a bit! But only if Gloom wished!

Once she was settled and comfortable, Audra would listen to Art's words and glance around at who had gathered.
