The Heartwood Ashen Remains

I'm sorry for the wait! Thank you for your patience, irl things sapped away my muse.

Vale followed Bridget's gaze to the west. Presumably, that was where Bridget's pack was. The tips of her ears pointed forward. I appreciate your offer but I think I'll decline. She laughed, adopting a more serious tone. Not one with an edge but one with sincerity. Your pack does sound nice, I just feel it'd be awkward to join and then you leave. But! If I ever find myself that way I would like to know their name, though! I never did ask you that, huh?

Bridget spoke of the coast and waterways. Vale's eyes turned back to the mountains. I know I complain but I really do enjoy the mountains. Grew up in a range myself. Maybe I'll just climb them if I really want to see the sun. The thought made her chuckle. I don't know if they are what makes home home though. Maybe I'll find that out once I wear myself down a bit more.
