Morningside Cuesta Can't Run From This

Howl could hear Heartha's weaps and continued to be a shoulder to cry on. There wasn't much he could do and so he became once again a simple comfort to her. He could tell now how bad she was doing. Not because of what she thought she saw, but because of how often she was sad even with him in her presence. Him being there definately helped, but it made him wonder how bad she felt when he wasn't there. 

When she whispered that she wanted to go back, he assumed it was to the den he had found her at before. Among all other things, there was a good chance that Heartha was pregnant and by now almost ready to start showing more symptoms and a bump. This stress along with simple exercise could easily tire her out. He nodded saying "Ok. Let's go." he nuzzled her head and then stood up, ready to lead her back.
