DAYLIGHT

It felt good to take a break from Ebony, stretching her legs again after what felt like such a long depression. She relished in the beauty of this day, for it was really so wonderful to see colorful things again. Spring had arrived, bringing flowers and sunshine and new hope for the wolves that lived here. Adelaide had been glad to see a friendly face again when she spoke to Newol, but eventually she had to bid him farewell and continue her search for herbs. Her physique had definitely worsened after her pregnancy, however, and it wasn't long before she felt the need to take another break.

The snowy maiden had just come across a lovely little beach, and she sighed happily as the give and take of the sand eased her tired bones. There was a dark cave nearby, and she decided that it would make a good napping place. Little did she know that another wolf had the same idea. Adelaide entered the cave and instantly felt the stone cooling off her sore feet. The woman then lowered her nose as she caught a scent, only then noticing the other creature that rested here. Adelaide could tell she was female by the scent, but there also seemed to be a smell of medicinal herbs woven into her pelt. Another healer? How interesting... The white lady stepped closer to get a better look, only to accidentally step on the other woman's tail. She winced as she felt the appendage under her paw. Surely that would wake her.

Adelaide retreated a few steps to give the waking woman some space, and her ears angled down apologetically. "I'm so sorry, miss, I didn't see you there..." That was more or less true, she hadn't seen her tail there after all. She paused for a moment before bowing to the stranger. She didn't want to get off on the wrong foot. "My name is Adelaide Lazurite," The maiden said. "And I do hope you'll forgive me."

"SPEECH"
