Man To Man

When Allen brought up Nona, he felt the pang in his heart. Wren had gone away once too, and came back skinny and sick. It was then that they conceived their young, and he was impressed that they were all born so healthy. But that was then, and he knew that Nona wasn't feeling good as well. Wren went off because she didn't want to seem weak. Woman were silly, silly creatures. "Woman are fickle creatures, no matter how much we love them. I bet she didn't want to seem weak in your eyes. She is strong though Allen, and knows her way around plants. I am sure she went off to lick her wounds where she wouldn't cause you to worry, just as Wren did when she grew ill. It took her awhile to come back, and I am sure that Nona will return when she is ready." He said softly, a small smile growing on his maw. Allen was his friend, but he would never lie to him. Hopefully the truth would make him feel better.

As Allen met his golden gaze, he fell silent, knowing that this was not the reason the man had pulled him aside. The more the older man spoke, the more he felt his heart swell with pride. He had already done so much for Abaven, providing a new strong rank, as well as being the teacher of it. "You've already done so much for me Allen, and I know that you're committed to us. What are you suggesting?" Bass asked, his head tilting to the side. He wasn't sure what he was getting at, but he would hear him out.
