Larksong Grotto At It Again

Aspen smiled as Charley reassured her that it would grow back explaining that it always did in the winter. What would make this time any different right? She watched as the sun was beginning to dip over the horizon. "I guess so," she spoke shifting her paws slightly. At least she wasn't so hungry now.

Her ears swivelled though to focus on the words that Charley spoke once again. "I'll take care of you until then, angel, I promise," he spoke and the words made her heart skip a beat. The idea that Charley was protecting her and taking care of her made Aspen feel a way she had never felt before.

Finally someone cared about her well being. This didn't mean Aspen would not work hard to earn her keep in the grotto but at least with him she felt safe and that if she needed it. There was someone around she knew would help.

"Thank you Charley," she said warmly her tail twitching happily behind her. "I mean it," she finished pushing her head into his shoulder affectionately leaving it resting in his fur a while. She cared about this wolf she really did and she knew that this wasn't a friendship kinda feeling.  However she had yet to figure out just how much she cared. That was still hidden.
