Eclipse’ heart went out to Zera’im, but it did seem the woman was waiting for the end to come, though Eclipse wished there was something she could do about it. It hurt her to know that Zera only had a short time to live and Eclipse couldn’t do a thing about it. Though Zera’im said not to be sad, Eclipse couldn’t help it. She had just made a friend and she couldn’t just not feel horrible that she only had a limited ammount of time, so when the woman agreed to going to Eclipse’s home today Eclipse was very enthusiastic about it. She wasn’t sure how quickly the woman walked so she decided to go right at that moment. The second she was in her packlands and had acess to a source of water she offered it to the woman as both a relief and giving her sanctuary inside the land. Eclipse showed the woman around, spots she loved, and older spots she thought that Zera would enjoy. She couldn’t show the older woman some things, but that was due to her packs rules and nothing more. She showed her the valley and some of the woods even their view of the shore.
It was a good day, at least for Eclipse and she hated to see the collie woman go, but that night as she went to her room she hugged the jar of saffron tightly. This would only be used for very special occasions. It was worth far more to her than them being just spice and she would cherish the gift always even to the very last touch of it went into a wolf’s mouth.
She watched the jar for long minutes thinking about the day she had and wished she could have escorted Zera to her home so she could learn more, and hear stories but she wouldn’t make it back home. Thinking about her day, she thought it had turned out fairly well considering all that happened. It was nice to make a new friend, but her heard hurt thinking that was probably the first and only time she would see the collie woman.
