Golden Glade When no one is left

Shalon's cold words sent the room into silence, at least from where Eden sat. There was a moment where she admired the woman as more than a brave figure, but a leader to them all. She listened with an intense focus and considered the words carefully before replying in agreeance, An emotional toll can leave someone incapable of their duties. She thought back to the catatonic state she herself had slipped into in the days leading up to and after giving birth. Some things were more difficult than others, though, and she knew that losing a live, breathing child was going to be one of those experiences.

I assume you will lead now? As our...Queen? It was posed as a question rather than a statement, for Eden had never seen Shalon in the same light as she hd Aspen. In the same thought, she didn't know her that well, either. I am confident that if we work as one, we will survive indeed. She nosed her mate gently, as if to let him know that she wasn't giving up and that he'd better not be either. They had a long way to go, and none of them could do it alone.
