Sundew was organizing her stash of pouch items when Willow suddenly popped out of the leaves in front of her, startling the life out of Sundew and nearly dropping her items. "Willow!"

"Hello to you too, Sundew." Willow said in her usual cheery mood. She walked around the table Sundew had her stuff at and studied it curiously. "What are you doing?"

"Organizing my pouch of dangerous items." Sundew replied, setting a smokeberry back into it's place. It had accidentally rolled in with the centipedes and Sundew had to grab it quickly before they bit into it. She looked up at Willow and said, "Question is, what are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just visiting my favorite Leafwing in the whole continent of Pantala." Willow said, a hint of amusement in her voice. She climbed into a tree, wrapped her tail gracefully around a tree branch, and hung down from it. "And practicing this-AH!" Willow fell and landed hard on the ground.

Willow blinked and then burst out laughing. Sundew looked at her, confused. That was totally NOT a normal reaction to getting hurt. "What's so funny, Willow? Didn't that hurt? I mean, you just fell and smashed into the ground, snout first."

Willow got up and rubbed her snout, still laughing a little. "Yes, it did hurt but this ground is softer than the ground back in Pantala. The Rainforest isn't as cold either, which is nice." Willow made a paw print that faded as soon as it was made.

"Well, be more careful next time." Sundew said after a minute. "I don't need my girlfriend in a healer's hut." Willow nodded and slunk off into the trees.

I like that Sundew cares about me a lot, but sometimes I feel like she doesn't trust me enough. Oh well, at least SOMEONE cares about me. Willow thought. Oh, I'm going to say hi to that NightWing with the teardrop and her boyfriend!

Willow flew silently through the trees until she saw her and then Willow landed. "Hi Moon, hi Qibli!" The couple looked up at Willow from their scroll and said hi back to her in unison.

"What's up?" Moon asked. "How's your relationship with Sundew?"

Willow sighed. "I wished she could trust me a bit more. She always think I'm not careful. I'm just glad she cares for me though."

Qibli nodded and said, "Yea. I know how it feels to want to keep someone you love, safe. It would be heart shattering to see them get harmed badly or threatened. I know I'd keep Moon safe with my life."

Moon nodded, "I'm sure Sundew is doing the same thing, you just haven't realized it yet. Maybe you need to show her that you can do things without needing help. But here's the thing, if you actually need help, ask Sundew. She'd help you out anytime."

Willow nodded and then flew off towards Sundew again. Sundew saw Willow and hugged her. Willow hugged back and said, "Hi, Sundew! How was your pouch organizing?"

Sundew gave an exasperated sigh. "It took FOREVER, Willow. The centipedes weren't cooperating with me and they kept getting away."

Willow smiled and said, "Well, at least it's done." Sundew nodded. "I need to whisper something to you." She leaned against Sundew's ear and said, "WillowDew forever!"

Sundew nodded and said, "WillowDew forever." They hugged each other and Willow could see Qibli and Moon give her a smiling thumbs up. 

Willow smiled back at them and mouthed, Thanks!
