The World Is A Scary Place

Bay anchors Haydée in the moment, reminding her that she is home, safe, and far from the attack that had happened while she was in the North. His tongue gently licks her face, further soothing the girl and relaxing some of the tension that has made her shoulders rigid. For a long time, she just breathes, holding onto the golden boy as if he alone might fix every worry that plagues her young mind. The licks do not stop and, eventually, begins to pull giggles from the girl as the tears finally stop.

Pulling her face out of his fur, Hay makes sure that she isn’t going to hurt any of his plants before she plops her butt on the ground with a soft sigh. Green eyes find his blue gaze and she offers him a warm smile, silently thanking him for being him. It is evident that something happened while she was away but Haydée suddenly finds it difficult to speak of the events. So, instead, she softly says, “I missed you so much, Bay. Has… has everything been okay here? Your garden is really coming along!”

For now, Hay decides to content herself with learning about what has happened in her absence and then, when she is ready, she will tell him about the scary wolves she had found in the far Northern lands. But not just yet.
