Blacktail Deer Plateau Life can be sweet

The young girl listened closely to Blue's gentle voice, the fact that she claimed that one never truly finishes to learn just made the ebony girl's hunger for knowledge grow stronger. She was not one to settle for the basics, she always liked to strive for the very best -something which could bring more trouble than rewards in some cases.

When the name of the young male rolled off her tongue she felt a bitter taste flood into her mouth, but strangely at the same time she felt her heart sink, with a feeling very similar to...joy? The teen looked at her paws while she listened to Blue's response, kicking dirt and refusing to lift her gaze as she was afraid her eyes might betray what her heart felt -even if she didn't even understand it herself.

She had never had a talk like that before, the kind that only a mother and daughter could share. Amelie appreciated the healer's worry, it made her feel what she hadn't felt during all those weeks as a loner. She felt loved. Cared for.

Then the girl slowly lifted her chin, her yellow eyes locking with the lovely emerald eyes of the female. Amelie had never known words could carry a message so pure , that could make its way into your heart and embrace it with such warmth. She smiled, and pressed her nose to Blue's cheek. "Thank you" she managed to utter. An insignificant response in comparison to everything the healer had just said to her, but fillled with gratitude and emotion.
