It was probably the first genuine smile he had given anyone other than @Asphodel since they came to these god forsaken lands. It would take the rest of the day to dash down to Fireweed Rise and return with sweetgrass and then they would be able to leave first thing in the morning, back to the woods where they were born, little more than a ghost of a memory, but a place that kept tugging at his gut whenever he allowed his mind to wander. “Of course m’am.” he said with a duck of his head and a wave of his tail. “We will set out first thing tomorrow and make as much haste as we can. I will leave you with my sister for now and make my way to the rise. I should be back before the moon is high.”
Oh how he hated to be parted from her. But it was the only way. Tomorrow they could be away from it all. Just the two of them, as it was always meant to be. Tomorrow they would be free, if only for a little while.
