Hushed Willows Its A Sad Day

Grace's tears slowed, her golden gaze clearing after Tavi's words. Nova wouldn't come anywhere near the borders, Grace knew, so it wouldn't be a problem. A smile crept across her maw, the tiniest of smiles, but by the time her eyes came to her alphas face, the stormy woman was off in her own world of emotions. Staying silent and stepping back, it was only seconds until Octavia shook out her fur and the thoughts in her head. She made no move to hide it, and Grace nodded in overall understanding and acceptance of it all. Sniffling, she too backed away with a few quiet, thankful words.
             "My loyalty is to you and your family, Tavi. I pray all is well with you."
Turning her back and limping the other way, Grace couldn't help the tears that again soaked the fur of her face. It would be a while until she felt right again, happy, she was sure, but it was all a part of her process of dealing with abandonment.
