Duskfire Glacier fleiva

when ensio showed her support in that tiny moment, heda felt like she might truly lose it. her vision blurred but the tears did not fall; bit by bit she blinked them back as she held completely to his every word. she leapt up beside him and pondered the next ledge.
before he could go, heda jumped ahead.
her paws skidded on the edge but she caught herself with a grunt and hauled her body to safety. 
the hawk's eyes were bright when she looked back for ensio.
