"No, no blood oath," Zedya said quickly, taking his paws in her hands before he could make a move.

"I trust you, just like I've trusted you all these years to watch over us when we sleep. Just understand that this secret isn't dangerous to me, but to Mistress Nyrielle and Lady Ashlynn if anyone were to hear of it," she said.
