Old friends, new girlfriend

Audra settled in closer to Gloom. While the festivities blossomed around them, she was content to lay with Gloom. Enjoying the crackle and snap of the fire and listening in on others' conversations, Audra was glad for the chance to rest and relax. Snuggling into their blanket even more as she felt Gloom shiver slightly, she turned her cheek into the woman and allowed her eye to close for a moment. That wouldn't last long when she heard the voice of Laeta and the older woman's scent drifted to her.

Turning her face to glance at the woman, Audra didn't hide her glances. She was worried for her older friend as she wasn't getting better as the years went on. The Long Night had been cruel to the both of them. Lost in thought and worry, Audra barely heard Gloom's question but noticed the shift of her body when she pointed. Blinking a few times, Audra's ears fell back as she gave Gloom a sheepish grin. "Oh, s-sorry," she murmured before clearing her throat.

"Laeta! Can-can you make it over h-here?" Audra calls out, lifting her paw gently to wave the older woman over. "She's a dear friend to me. I believe you two would get along nicely," her voice is a warm hum of happiness while trying to hide the edge of concern as she smiled at Gloom and waited to see if Laeta would make her way over.
