Blood for blood

Hira sighs and looks up at Jacob sadly. "Then... I guess this is goodbye for now?" She mutters as she fiddles with a pocket on her robe.

Jacob gave a comforting smile, before leaning over and reaching for his pelt bag. He opened it and reached inside. He withdrew a clenched fist, and gestured for Hira to move closer.

Hira shifts closer and leans in. "Hm...?"

Jacob took her hand a pressed a small pendant into her grasp. The small bone disk bore the symbol of the Reaver Clan, a snarling wolf with a scar across its right eye, silhouetted against the moon.
"It's a clan icon" he explained "it symbolizes every wolf's tie to clan, this one's mine. It's a promise that I'm coming back."

Taking the icon shakily in her hand, Hira pulls open her robe slightly and slips it into an inside pocket. "T-thank you..." She mutters, sniffling slightly.

"Hey" Jacob tilted her head back with a hand and kissed her on the forehead "I'll be back before you know it."

Hira nods slightly, her eyes still downcast. "But it'll be a few months before you're back... maybe even a few years..."

"Depends on how much those toothless old wolves have to teach me" Jacob chuckled "years are out of the question though, nothing could keep me from you that long."

Hira smiles and stands, checking the clock on the wall. "Well... visiting hours are over. I suppose this is it Jacob of Reaver."

"This isn't it" shaking his head "it's just the start of the next chapter" he winked "you can always come and visit too."

Hira lets out a small laugh. "And how am I supposed to find you? Go north and ask the nearest Grimm 'hey, have you seen my mate?'"

Jacob chuckled
"Pretty close actually" he admitted "just fly north of the mountains until you reach the giant Ursa skeleton. Most of the clans stay near the bone yards, give or take a few clicks."

Hira nods and turns, waving over her shoulder as she walks to the door. "I'll make sure to visit at some point."

"See you 'round, Dragon" Jacob winked, giving her an informal salute.
