Swiftcurrent Creek Debut

Reveri smiled a little sadly at Tauris. She didn't know how to tell her that she had already tried, that she had given so much of herself to Lestan — a piece of her that was gone forever now that he had left. Even if he returned, that part of her never would.
She was learning to be okay with that, at least. You shouldn't be disappointed with yourself. All we can do is our best - and it's usually not enough, If there was anything Reverie had learned over the last few months, it was that. Sometimes, no matter what they did, their efforts would always fall short — and the only consolation was the chance that they might find something unexpectedly beautiful wherever they landed. That was the whole point of trying.
Reverie considered Tauris's nervous question briefly. Oh! I have an idea, She carefully removed herself from Blossom and stepped over her to brush her fur against Tauris's, if her friend allowed the touch. Now you'll smell like one of us.
