Lily shook her head quickly, trying to keep the other's anxieties at bay. No apology necessary, she insisted gently. I was just worried, is all. From what Sunny described, things don't sound good here. Elysium's your neighbor, and we want to help in any way we can. If she were closer to Aviana, she would have touched her muzzle to the brown shoulder. As it was, she merely smiled.

Well, if that's all, then I will keep watch for you at the borders, Lily continued. Since we are a sanctuary, it's okay to walk right in--but I would appreciate a howl in advance, and so would my co-leaders. She grinned, wagging her tail. Just so you don't stumble over me during a midday nap, she added cheekily.
