The young jackal was determined not to loose its new friend, eager to continue playing. It was trying its best to get her to interact with it. Bouncing around Celeste's feet, weaving in and out, Celeste nearly fell each time it bumped into her. She struggled to stay upright as she watched the adults try to show dominance. Whoever the alpha was, he was slowly loosing his ground. Many of the jackals were showing a sign of acceptance of Eden, or at least, that is what Celeste was hoping.
Eden nodded. While Celeste had managed to see a shifting of something, in her current state, she couldn't understand what she witnessed. What she did understand was Eden retrieved her weapon and slid an arm around Celeste, giving her a much needed support. Apparently, the jackals decided to let them rest among them, leading them further in. This was their resting area, it was obvious with some jackals nursing newborns, their squeaks and squeals adorably echoing through the room.
Celeste gratefully sank into the block bench. "Ma seranas," she mumbled as she curled up. To most, stone was quite uncomfortable. However, for Celeste, it was perfect, as she was still unable to sleep on beds or furniture. Mother Nature was lifting her hands up, pushing against her body in the most relaxing way she has known for the last few years. As her eyes seemed to weigh so much, instantly closing, the jackal friend she had made earlier jumped onto the bench, licking at her face, pushed at her shoulder and sniffed at her neck, pressing its cold wet nose against her.
The elf giggled, her hand heavily lifted as she tried to pet the puppy. "If your mother approves, I'd take you home, da'len. My tigress and little Kyu would love you." It would appear that she and her wife were starting a zoo of large animals. Tigers and Rune Wolves, and now a Jackal, all would grow up together and develop a bond as deep as any pure breed pack. "Let me… rest… min.." Her voice trailed off, her hand went limp, trapping the little jackal against her as she slipped back into slumber.
