From the heart

Tamsyn was, of course, curious when Elowen replied that she wasn't off to anywhere in particular, she had simply been distracted by her own thoughts. For someone so young she couldn't hazard a guess for what was weighing so heavily on the girl's mind, but she didn't want to pry either. She hoped that none of her grandchildren had too much troubling any of them, but she knew that wasn't realistic. No matter how hard she had tried as a mother herself she still hadn't been able to fully avoid hardships falling on her children so things were certainly bound to happen eventually. "Well, I hope that whatever has you so preoccupied isn't too bothersome," she replied with a gentle smile.

She was content to leave it at that and was ready to continue on her way when Elowen stepped aside, but to her surprise her granddaughter asked if she could come speak with her, seeking some advice. Tam's brows lifted with her surprise, but she would never deny any of her grandchildren a request for her time. All she could really hope for was to spend as many days as she had left in this life with her family and impart what knowledge and experience she had onto them while she still could. "Of course! Why don't we go sit in the lounge? I don't think anyone will be in there this time of day."

Leading the way, Tam walked this short distance down the corridor to the open lounge area that had plenty of sitting areas made up of plush pillows and furs, the several large windows on the far wall letting in plenty of warm sunlight. Luckily she had been right about the space being empty since most of the other pack wolves were out doing their usual chores and patrols. She picked one of the clusters of pillows in the corner in front of one of the windows and settled in with a soft sigh before looking to Elowen with another loving smile. "What's on your mind, darling?"
