Unwavering Determination
As the tears fell Rune would do his best to try and comfort the distraught mother. It was not necessarily the best skill a male had, particularly even Rune, but the fact he would try just made the small female respect him all the more. There was still a chance, he would remind her. There was still a chance her babies would be happy, would have a good childhood and future. Somehow... They could learn to fit into Secretua... They could grow to love this pack. It was not the same pack she had grown up in, and though her siblings had caused a bit of chaos in the lives of her children thus far there was still hope for them yet. Secretua... Secretua would be their new family.
Akemi would swallow hard, giving a small nod. His words were true, she couldn’t deny them... And they gave her hope. Hope once more, to continue and carry on. That was one of the most beautiful things about this pack... It was the most precious gift Secretua gave her. Hope. The offer, spoken almost like a question, would hang in the air, and Akemi would give a nod.. “That would be most appreciated, Rune. I just want to know she’s alright... Even if she’s just with Freyr.” The female would pause again, deciding to open up about something else. Something not even Freyr knew.
“I truthfully already lost one from their litter. He was born first... A rather small thing. He... Was swiped by a fox... And I was too weak to do anything but watch it take him away.” Her voice was quiet. “I don’t want to think about losing another child... One so innocent...” The female shook her head, trying to fight back the tears. “Rune... I can’t even begin to thank you enough... This pack... Meeting you... Was truly the biggest blessing that happened in my life. She would glance back in the direction of her den, giving a small nod. “...We’ll find her... I’m sure of it. She’s strong...” She would try to fight her doubt with some words of encouragement, turning to look at the man again. “We’ll figure this out... Again... Thank you.” "Hear me talk," 'but read my thoughts.' |
