Emberwood you're my everything

Kas smiled at his reply, glad that he felt their kinship too. Though they shared not blood, their bond was one of friendship and pack, which could be even stronger than blood in some cases. Kaskara was glad that Kieran understood and agreed with her in this. He paused and she followed suit, sitting with him beneath the late autumn leaves of the Emberwood. He studied her and if she had known better, she would have been abashed at his directness. But instead, she simply took his gaze at face value, and returned it with her own occasional glance.

Then he asked her if she was okay, and she nodded. It took a moment for her to mull over her thoughts, to form coherent words, but eventually she was able to reply verbally. "I'm excited and afraid of our new adventure, of this new home we're going to. I've never seen ti, but Scimitar says its wonderful." She paused to look at Kieran, wondering if he had heard the same. "I trust him completely, but I still wonder what it will be like. And I wonder, too, if we're doing the right thing by leaving. Of course I support it, but I still wonder, deep in my heart, if we are not simply running away from our problems instead of facing them."
