Finally relieved

CALLISTO

Walk | Talk | Think
 
Just as promised, there was no objection, no demand for further information, from Max when she tried to get them to leave so she could see her plants and, unknowingly to him, rest in the quiet, familiar comfort of his den. He replied only in agreement, getting to his paws right after, and Callisto felt the tension that had been gathered about her shoulders begin to release and relax. Her head lowered slightly, turning so that she could look one last time at the den behind her. God, did she hate to leave it. She was going to miss this empty piece of land. How was she going to make this transition work? 

Not knowing the answer, afraid that it might end up being one that she did not like, the black and grey wolf took the lead and stepped around Max to wander in the direction of the lake, expecting him to fall into step with her and travel the distance to his den. Briefly she wondered what he thought about it all, whether he felt pity over her from the little she had been able to divulge in their short conversation or if his kind smile was really just a quiet joy at having her returned. But he had sworn himself to keep quiet about it all, promising not to ask questions, so how would she know where his concerns rested? Grateful anyway that he had been willing to help her - she was glad his generosity had not changed, it was what she had looked forward to returning to most next to her work - she remained quiet and thoughtful, keeping on eye on Max beside her to make sure she went in the right direction.
