Marta entered the dream with Splash, intending to explore the woods more. She would avoid the cave. Ricky hadn't investigated it yet. At least, as far as she knew he hadn't. Ricky was changing and not in a bad way. More of his original personality was coming back. He was still concerned for his charge, but he was beginning to learn that Marta was very capable of taking care of herself, and she had plenty of people looking after her. Marta was growing, and even though now she was feeling okay, she felt the slight twinge of anger within her, burning softly in the background. She would need to find an outlet for that.
Marta was about to shift to the woods when a familiar scent came into her nostrils. Elyse! Elyse was in the dream. That was odd, Elyse hardly ever came to the dream. She hated it here. Splash sent her images. Elyse wasn't alone, she was with another wolfkin - a man. Marta sniffed the air, finding out where she was. Marta found the direction and shifted, finding herself outside the Sanctuary of the Ascendant Flame. Elyse was sitting on the steps and the man was there as well.
"Elyse! What are you..." her voice trailed off as she noticed what Elyse was wearing - a Batman t-shirt covering a long sleeved white shirt, jeans, and a pair of running shoes. Marta looked down. She was wearing the same thing.
Marta had always known that Elyse cared for her, but she hadn't really truly understood the scope at which the woman loved her. Marta had been honest when she told Elyse she saw her as a mother figure. She had been at the house once and had woken up to see that Sky had projected an image of the two of them when Elyse's alarm went off. It hit her then. Marta was the reason Elyse got out of bed in the morning. She was the reason Elyse hadn't ended everything when things got bad.
It was a simple thing. Clothing. But the message it sent was something special. Marta went to Elyse and gave her a hug, knowing that the stranger was watching. Words didn't need to be said between Elyse and Marta. The hug said enough. Splash padded next to her and sat down as Marta turned eyes to the stranger. "Who's this? Do we have a new packmate?"
