The rains had stopped and the day had cleared for the start of Autumn, not that Cecily had spent much time with the pack she had found herself in. She had spent the few days after finding her mother outside with her, as best protected from the weather as they could get as they waited for a break in the storms. They had gotten even luckier than that, it seemed now that the storms had fully ended and there was a promise of brightness to the day. She told her mother she needed to talk to Bass, before they could go off in search of her siblings, and since it looked like today was the day for that she couldn?t put off talking to her Alpha.
With a departing word to Emer she slipped away from her mother?s form and into the caves. She would find the Abaven pack readying to depart for home now that the severe weather was over. She would pad to his familiar white form when she could and stop before him. She would take an embarrassed movement to scuff her paw in the dirt and fail to meet his eyes. He had rescued her when she was lost, but all she had done in return was keep to herself, she had lost so much of who she had once been. She had contributed nothing to Abaven, even after his help to her and she had barely said two words to him. She had spent too much time feeling hurt and alone, but now that her mother was here and alive there was something new in Cecily?s eyes, something bright and similar to the old fire she had once worn. The moment past and she raised her eyes to meet his. ?Bass? Can I have a word?? she asked him softly, and if he said yes she would plunge right in. ?I found my Mother, or rather she found me. But she... she doesn?t look the same, and I know she-we need to find my siblings and im hoping I can find Val for her again, and...? she was speaking quickly, trying to get it all out before he could comment but stopped now to take a breath. ?And well I need to go with her and find them, and I know I haven?t... I haven?t had a chance to show you I?m grateful for taking me in, but I? I wanted to ask you if I could still have a home here, once I find them again I want to come back here and I want... I want... well, if you could teach me to fight I could protect her so she won?t look so lost again...? she whispered the last part, and she knew she was rambling, she just hoped Bass could find sense in her words.
