Something about her friend was off. Talking about this wolf had turned his usual smile upside down and he barely gave her more than a few second glance before turning his attention back to his paws. She thought to question him, pull the answer from him as best she could but something stopped her from badgering him, instead she gave her own smile and nudged into him with hopes that eventually his smile would return."Maybe I'll get to see him then, I visit Heartwood often. I'm sure it'll be interesting to see Ayti and his brother." she imagined the reunion of the two to be heartfelt and magical. "maybe we can go together, that way you'll know for sure he made it there safely." there was a great idea. She watched her friend in silence and found that another idea had popped in her head; "lets go for a walk or something. Just you and me." and she nudged him before darting off in laughter, wondering if he would give chase behind her.
