Hideaway Strath Are You My Mommy?

 

Hemlock chuckled at the girls enthusiastic notion, giving a little nod. "How about I show you some you could take?" She offered, rather than promise that she could gather them for Seri. She didn't know how much longer she could truly make the same progress she needed after all. Soon she'd need to settle down and find an appropriate den of her own - and that would no doubt need to be done while she still had the energy to do so. "We can find ones for you, and you can always ask me if you need help." Hemlock promised. 

She was quiet as the girl let her emotions out, the sensation of Seri's raw pain different than what Hemlock had endured. Being alone for so long - she understood the solitude. That much she could get. It was different, certainly, to be abandoned by your family. She moved closer to gently nudge the girl's chin, giving a breathy sigh. "I am sorry they did that, Seri." Hemlock said quietly. "You will be very strong for it - as much as it hurts now." Of that the healer was absolutely sure.
