Swiftcurrent Creek sparking up my heart

"Hi."

A good start. Bazi's tail swayed lightly behind her, and she complemented her pedestrian greeting with a weak little smile.

"I wanted to say welcome home. I didn’t get a chance to do that yet."

Better! Bazi felt herself relax. The feeling was something akin to gravity returning - she could feel the ground beneath her paws, rather than the uncomfortable, floating sensation that made her want to dig her claws into the earth for safety.

"It's OK - you're Alpha now.. it's not exactly an easy gig," she replied, cocking her head to one side to appraise him. There was warmth behind her smile now - a returning confidence. "You really look like an Alpha."
