friendly faces in unknown places

Sah

Only in the dark
of night

Sah just nodded into Ilma's shoulder, still struggling to get a hold on his emotions. After a long moment of Sah silently shaking, too overwhelmed to even cry, he calmed down enough to speak. "Thank you." He practically croaked out. Composing himself enough, Sah drew back to sit on the couch next to Ilma. His ears were slightly red with embarrassment.

"Thank you. I... thank you." Sah genuinely didn't know what else there was to say. It was one thing for Ilma to be his kind neighbor who taught him how to be a person, who he helped around the house. For her and Aino to offer him family? Pack? That was so..so...so much more. Human as he may be now, Sah was still a pack animal. To be offered a place here with them meant more then he could put into words.
