Blackfeather Woods How To Be A Friend

Ayana let out a short sigh. Sometimes she wanted a family, simply to feel like a normal wolf, but now she had to think about that twice. It took a lot of care and worry apparently, which was not one of the golden wolf's strenghts. She looked over to Lusa. The black female reacted to the name Ohen, in a way that Ayana had never expected Lusa to behave. She seemed really aggressive and Ayana didn't know what to think. She didn't know Ohen, so she guessed he wasn't such a good member. However, what if he actually saved her sons?

Ayana took a few steps closer to Lusa and sat down next to her friend. "Have you ever considered that Ohen might have brought your son to safety?", she said, facing Lusa.
She then nodded and looked around. The infirmary was one of the few dry places around, it was dangerous out there. Whole trees fell over during the storm and the water flooded the whole area, turning the many caves into a wet, stinky sewer. It was disgusting.
"There's nothing one can do really, except wait. I can imagine how hard it might be for you. But just look around and think back to the storm. You were hurt and it was so dangerous out there. Maybe Ohen simply knew a safer place. He seemed like a good guy and I'm sure Grim wouldn't have let him take your son without trusting him. And Grim wouldn't even trust me if it wasn't for you. I'm sure they're fine ... I hope.", the golden wolf said. She didn't wait for an answer as Lusa did not really seem very chatty anyway. Instead, she watched Periot for a while. Ayana remembered exactly how she picked up the small white girl to carry her to the dry place. She smiled. Periot reminded her of herself a little. Strong and independent. And not very popular, it seemed. Ayana closed her eyes for a minute and thought about why Ohen and Lusa's son were gone. She was positive that there was a valid reason for their absence.
