Firefly Glen [m] i am a question to the world

Kusuma tried to remember how to get her once-love to give her the attention she sought. That would perhaps be more suitable? 

Her fire still burned inside her. 

Kusma wants Talis to do what everyone else hasn't- 

she took a breath, finally getting up from her clover patch and leaning over to sniff Talis, daring her nose to be put to his fur. -Stay. Please - even if it's just... for a moment. he reeked of other women, but at that point, the coyjackal didn't care.

Kusuma just wants to belong somewhere. She isn't... all coyote, or all jackal. Or wolf. Is coyote-jackal. Makes things even more confusing than her words. Talis doesn't need to be in pups lives if he doesn't want to. Kusuma... wants family.
