Or, when we met on the shores," she said, though she could not quite put a name to, what that light had been. Nothing material and definitely not another wolf in her life, rather... she had felt confidence. A time, when the destination did not matter so much as treading the path. Now? Walking had become colourless and the end of the road was shrouded in darkness. 

"Its gone now. I lost it somewhere," she concluded, though this did not sound quite as correct. It would imply that she could find the same light again somewhere, when she knew it was not possible. Because just like a candle it had burned and eventually fizzled out, because she had grown up, her needs had changed and with a bit of experience and maturity had come also a very realistic outlook on life.

"But if you ever feel overwhelmed by kids - come and say hello to me in the caldera," she offered, though it was highly unlikely that he would take that offer beyond politely agreeing to a thing he had no intention of fulfilling.
