Bramblepoint I won't stumble back

"Practice makes perfect, especially in this field," Wildfire said softly. "You should definitely travel with a buddy, so you don't get lost. Ask Raven about that." Her lips twitched ever so faintly. "I bet your mom would be willing to play tour guide until you learn the ropes. You two could even come visit me..." She trailed off awkwardly when a lump formed in her throat. Would she even be going back to Drageda after this?

Swallowing a few times, Wildfire went in a slightly different direction. "I'd love to scout with you sometime. It's not the best time of year for it but, maybe come springtime, we could meet up and go on our own adventure? Just like your mom had with me." She had no idea what her future held, yet if she had something like this to look forward to, maybe it would help Wildfire survive the uncertainty of the coming days.
