At the beginning

Tamsyn glanced up at Artorias as he came to sit beside her at the top of the falls and she gave him a smile before she looked back out over the wide, expansive view, leaning gently into her son's side. They were quiet for a while, just enjoying the view and taking in this moment, but her mind was so far away. She thought about coming here with Resin for the first time as her mate shared her dream for what The Hallows would become. She thought about the first time the pups left the den in the "fence" of rocks that Resin had constructed, when Artorias picked up his first sword stick and Gwynevere brought them a "weaf". There was countless memories here even though in the grand scheme of their lives together they had only lived here for a comparatively short time. Still, it was where a lot of it had truly begun and it was bitter sweet to be sitting here now with her son that was now a grown man with a family of his own.

She hadn't noticed Artorias looking at her until he spoke, pulling her attention back to the present as she blinked her mint eyes back into focus and lifted her head to meet his gaze. Tam gave him a little tilt of her head with a silent question for what was on his mind, but instead he simply thanked her. She smiled and chuckled as she lifted a paw to place it over his, giving his much larger paw a pat and a squeeze. "What are you thanking me for, silly boy?" she questioned. "You're the one that made it so I could come all this way again. I should be thanking you!"
