Lets Walk This Road Together

Compassion is something that Haydée had been raised with and, while she does not know exactly what Avacyn is feeling or what every personal struggle she has endure throughout her life has felt like but there is still a certain level of understanding that she can offer and it is completely heartfelt. While the purple woman’s paw is giant compared to her own and distinctly feline in its shape, the young woman does not hesitate to touch it because it belongs to her friend. The smile she offers is filled with all the love that a sister has for her older sibling and everything about the much smaller wolf speaks of hope and trust that a bright future awaits her friend.

Life can feel dark and, at times, dishearten even the strongest of wolves but the Haydée hopes that the Matriarch knows that, no matter what comes, Ava will never have to tread her path alone. Tail swishes across the fur as she looks up at Avacyn meeting the older woman’s black gaze with her own bright greens and her smile grows as the purple woman places her other huge paw over Haydée’s tiny one to offer a gentle squeeze. The smile morphs, filling out with all the gentle, happy emotions that she holds as the Matriarch thanks her.

Head dips into an enthusiastic nod as Hay silently confirms that she knows Avacyn will be there for her and the younger Leader feels as if there has been huge shift in their personal relationship. The giant paw slips off her own and Haydée offers one final squeeze before allowing her own to fall back the ground as the Matriarch speaks again. A musical laugh, filled with excitement and bright with joy fills the air as Hay’s tail sweeps across the ground rapidly and she delightedly says, “I will be extremely honored to count Ethne among Elysium’s allies. Our borders will always be open to you and any of your pack!”

This is the first of, hopefully many, alliances that Haydée has made but there is something special about Avacyn’s pack being Ethne’s first official ally and that means that they need to celebrate. Head cocks to the side as the younger woman asks, “Tell me… do you like wine, Ava?” Eyes sparkle with a mischievous light as she thinks about adding some alcohol into the mix so that the pair can properly celebrate the cementing of their pack relations. Plus, they can spend the next hours getting drunk and sharing stories and who knows, maybe Hay will even share some of the sea shanties Bay had taught her!
