Haunted

Insomnia cursed every last deity in the sky for what had happened to Asheni. If there was a creature of innocence pure, it was the tiny healer. Seemingly nothing could have dragged the little woman down, neither heartache nor loss. She was always smiling, always chipper... that loner had torn her to ribbons, within Glaciem's border... Insomnia still quivered in her fury. She would gladly join the hunt for such a monster. He had tortured her and that simply could not stand to pass... but first, Crusade needed to be seen to good health and since Cifer was not here for the woman to lean on, or vice versa, Insomnia would do her best. She wasn't as close to the ex-Alpha as Asheni had been and they may not have been the best of friends, but the two toned dame certainly understood loss.

She waited with reverend patience just out of sight. She wouldn't impede on the new mommy if her presence was not welcome. Insomnia intended to give her a choice, always a choice. She could scent salt upon the air but that was to be expected, the two had, presumably been close enough to be sisters. She pranced, forelimbs lifting high off the ground, her paws nearly brushing the bottom of her snout. A nervous tick, an anxious habit she had possessed since long, long ago. Silence would reign for a few moments and despite her own anxieties, she knew, eventually Crusade would have to face the world eventually. She was lucky, she at least had her pups to cling too. Insomnia had had nothing.

Finally, a voice responded, it was soft and despite the effort to hide it, the lingering depression in those tones made Insomnia's heart crack for the woman. This was far too similar, far too close to her own story. With a soft sigh and a smile wide enough to block out the sun, the two toned fae stepped into view. Obsidian orbs glancing down at the two pups curled upon Crusade's belly and then up to Crusade herself. The genuine smile that lit her maw at the sight of the babes could not be denied, pups had always been her weak point. "They are beautiful Crusade." Her voice would murmur softly.

She reclined to lay upon the smooth of her belly a respectable distance away, she doubted Crusade would snarl at her, but young mothers could be unpredictable and Insomnia hadn't come here to cause the woman more grief. She dipped her head, accepting the gentle thanks, the soft smile never leaving her maw. before she could say anymore the woman would speak, offering that she wished to speak with her. Insomnia would roll her eyes playfully, obsidian gaze drifting to the rocks and crevices above. "An old crazy bat like me? Why ever would you wanna talk to me?" The laughter in her tone was evident, the statement not to be taken harshly. She wouldn't push Crusade to talk of Asheni, if she wanted someone to vent too, she surely could but such would not be pressured. For now she would keep the conversation light and airy and did her best to make the woman feel better.
