Hushed Willows As the smile fell from your face, I fell with it

Tambourine was the only wolf thus far who paid little Prialux much attention. As an added bonus, Tam's attention was wholly positive. Prialux loved him immensely already. Warmth poured into her heart when he wrapped a limb around her and comforted her, and she knew then and there that whenever there was something wrong, she would go to him first. Not even Amara would be Prialux's go-to wolf, for in the past, her success rate with her mother had been dubious. She saddled Tambourine with the responsibility of looking out for her, whether he wanted it or not, and it was he she would seek out to kiss all her boo-boos in the future.

For now, she pulled back and sniffled (read: snorted unattractively), and her wide eyes went to his when he spoke to her again. Despite the language barrier, she rose to her paws as though in understanding, and waited for him to bring her home. The truth was that Prialux had had enough adventuring for one day and wanted nothing more than to go and take a nap somewhere warm, preferably with Tambourine since he was her new knight in shining armor, but the den would do just fine.
