Phoenix Maplewood I find it hard to give up

Motion from her side caught her eye, and Aviana turned her head to see Desdemona. Her tail wagged in greeting before she turned back to their visitor. She was grateful for Valette's offer to help the pack, and Aviana would not soon forget it, especially if they ended up needing it. I really do appreciate that, and I will take you up on it if we need it, she assured the other woman. Yes, I'm excited for Sunny, too. I think Grayday would be very proud of him. She just wished he was here to see his son all grown up.

Her ears perked when Valette admitted she had a request. Aviana nodded for her to go on, interested in what she was going to ask. Her expression turned to empathy when she admitted her mother was buried here. I'm so sorry about her mother, she said genuinely. Of course you're welcome to come in and retrieve her. If you need help taking her back to Easthollow, I'm sure I could find a volunteer to help you, she offered, hoping her voice was loud enough for Desdemona to hear. Aviana thought she would be a perfect volunteer. Hint hint.
