Hoshor Plains Heart like yours is rare to find

She wanted so badly to give him what he hoped for. He had given up time with his nieces and nephews, the ability to be there for his sister while she was pregnant. He wouldn't be able to help her once the pups were born as he had done for her last summer. So what could she offer him to make up for that other than children of his own. The thought made her cheeks heat. She wanted to tell him how she felt, how she wanted this year to be different, how she wanted nothing more than to be the mother of his children, but the words wouldn't come out. What if it made things weird between them? She couldn't stand the thought of losing him. What does 'more' look like to you? she asked. She couldn't help it. Maybe she could find some other way to make his life here worth while without potentially ruining their friendship.

Don't place any blame on yourself. You're here now, and that's all that matters. She smiled up at him despite the seriousness of the subject. And maybe now you can go with me to search outside the borders; I'll feel safer traveling farther out. She had been too afraid of running into someone from Moonspear to search too far from Kaistleok, but with Emrik accompanying her, she might be able to cover ground not searched yet.

Speedy wasn't sure how to answer his question; she didn't want him to worry, but she also didn't want to hold anything back from him. At first she said nothing, gently tucking her head under his chin for a few moments before pulling back to meet his gaze. I'm worried, she admitted. Evergreen and Ira were both injured when the caves collapsed. I've tried my hardest to help them even with my dwindling herb supply. She shook her head and sighed. Ira seems to slowly be getting better, but Evergreen hasn't been so lucky; he had to step down. I feel like it's my fault somehow, like I failed him. No matter how much she tried to tell herself that things like this happened sometimes, she still couldn't help but feel guilty. And everything with Castor. She paused and tucked her head under his chin again. I'm just glad you're here.
