Tally leapt away from the stranger, her eyes wide with fear but also hope. "I..." she murmured in a small voice, "I didn't mean to intrude on your territory, Miss Cove. I was only passing through," it was clear that she was terrified out of her mind to be caught unawares by an alphess, "and perhaps even hoping that I could scavenge some scraps and maybe even a little water. I haven't eaten for a week, you see, and I've been travelling for a fortnight... I wasn't planning on hunting here or attacking your pack, honest!" she squeaked.
I'm collecting the 2020 Easter bunnies designed by Anouki. They're based on a
Japanese pottery technique where items are repaired by glueing the pieces back
together with a (typically) gold lacquer. It's called "kintsugi" and the idea behind
this is that broken things can still be beautiful, a mantra that has helped me cope
with the latest years of my depression. I've been saving up for a tattoo, to be my
first one, which will also be fashioned after kintsugi. That's why this design holds
a lot of sentimental value for me and, consequently, why I'm setting up a hoard
for them: to remind myself that even though I'm still struggling now, I will get
better. Please help me with this hoard. Thanks for reading. ~Love from Moony
