Description "She got up slowly and padded over to his side without a word. She curled up next to him, snuggling into his soft, fluffy fur and laid her head gently on his front leg, the way she used to lay next to Mother. She closed her eyes and let his comforting scent and warmth envelop her, slowly allowing it to ease away the tension in her frayed nerves and the raw pain within her heart. She sniffed as they lay there quietly together, her tears easing as her emotions slowly came back under control. Something clicked in her mind then. While she might have lost Mother, her only real family, she still had a family in her friends. Varrick was her family now. The other members of the pack who also cared for her as one of their own, they were all her family now and she would hold onto them as tight as she could. That way, she would never truly be alone."

Passage by L-Young  
How to say goodbye



My gosh I nearly had a spas attack drawing Varrick's lil ears. But no, serious somber picture is very serious ... and somber. Varrick is comforting lil Echo after the death of her mother. If you're curious about the finch feather I highly recommend reading the rp that's linked above. Not only will you find the answer but L-Young 's parts are just phenomenally heartbreaking and beautifully written.

L-young is VERY good at bringing out emotion in her passages. There were several times during this scene, and the one where Echo comforted Varrick where my throat tightened. I highly recommend reading her stuff.

thanks ^^ the rp is just as good if not better. We've been planning the whole feather thing since before our joining on Dotw, and it was really cool to actually write it out.

This is so sad and beautiful! I love how you colored the lines to add to the calm cool lighting. Poor Echo looks so sad, you got their emotions spot on! I'm so happy she has Varrick to comfort her <3

It's a good thing Varrick has Echo as well, without her he might not have survived his family's abandonment. And if he did he certainly wouldn't be the same wolf.

Yeah, he's on the bigger size, and she's on the omg tiny size, making the difference look huge.
