Will you join me?

He would not have to wait long, not that it upset him to ever wait for Gaia. He would wait a thousand days just to see her face. But, that was not today, no. He heard Freewing before he saw Gaia, but when he did...oh. It was like watching the sunrise after the worst of thunderstorms. She was like fresh air filling his lungs and his smile was wide. Everything felt just a touch lighter now that he saw her again. Sure he still felt the regret for allowing his brother to fall, all the things he had to do at home with the pack..but no, today he felt free. Like he took a day off from everything he gladly took on. "Hello Gaia" He said in return, feeling giddy when she said his name. He felt like a child, and without a second thought he stepped forward (over the border if he had too) to embrace her. It had been far too long since he felt her warmth, and he couldn't wait another second. "I am so terribly sorry for how long I have taken..." He whispered, taking a step back to smile down at her, despite her lack of sight. He was just so happy, too happy. He felt like he could fly, adrenaline and energy spiking through his veins. "So much has happened at home. Every time I tried to slip away another wolf was calling me to ask if Dono and their packs were friends. You wouldn't believe how many, and I don't get it. How could they think we were friends if I didn't even hear the name of the pack before?" He asked, his tone teasing but not condescending. He had made a few good acquaintances that way, but it had always put him in a tough spot, unable to promise the support of his family to an unknown pack. Clearing his throat he stepped away then, shifting to paw the flowers closer to her. "I found these for you. They were the best smelling ones I could find." He said with a gentle grin, a laugh upon his lips. "And I was wondering...Well, this pack is having a festival. Games, and fun and sparring, it'll be great fun. And I was wondering, if you would like to attend it with me?"
