Only If You Knew

Otaktay looked to the wolfess, his eyes showing remorse and sincerity to the smaller feminine creature. She seemed to have lost so much, and it hurt the brute severely that he could not help her in any way. A small sigh escaped him as he, gently, placed a paw upon her shoulder, being sure not to add too much pressure that it would hurt her, but enough to reassure her.

"Sometimes things happen for a reason. Though we sometimes do not know what that reason means, you will always find out in the end," he explained, bringing his head down and looking into her closed audets. "Remember that you are never alone, even though it may seem that way at times. Besides, you seem too kind to be crying right now. Keep your chin held high and a smile on your face," he explained, giving a friendly smile at her. He had cried many times after losing his family, for he understood the sadness and pain that the woman was feeling.
