Swiftcurrent Creek Beasts of Burden

Sorry for my delay!!!

At times, love was a selfless thing; and where Jinx soaked up the favors wantonly, Tuwawi doled them unconditionally. Her body wrapped the paler woman entirely, as a mother swathed its child, when Jinx crawled closer to find comfort. It was a maternal thing... and it was a sisterly thing... to provide a peaceful touch which transcended any brews or potions concocted by healers. Sometimes the most potent antidotes were invisible. Intangible medicine to cure intangible wounds; holding despair's hand and helping it pass with haste.

But some heartache would have to be endured.

Tuwawi crooned as Jinx exhaled. Bad karma expelled from the Kesuk's body as she struggled to release the deeper emotions which plagued her still. Jinx's subordinate was careful with her movements, gentle will her caresses, as she gingerly combed though Jinx's alabaster mane; attempting her best to put the lost mother at ease. No motion was executed without grace, from the tiniest preening to the gentlest of nudges, and eventually Tuwawi's neck draped across the bear woman's shoulders like a cowl. A soft coo, mixed by a baritone purr and a soprano whine, lulled the grieving wolf to better places in her mind's eye, and truly... it was a sound of pure serenity.
