Otter Creek Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star

Speedy's brow furrowed in concern at the other wolf's somber comment. She didn't even think to consider that her question may touch on a topic he didn't wish to discuss. Putting her foot in her mouth, as usual.

She was about to apologize for her intrusive question, but then he lightened the mood by taking a jab at her. Speedy barked out a laugh and asked, "You just couldn't resist, could you?" before giving a playful roll of her eyes. 

He then asked her whether her parents were as open as she was, and Speedy smiled and replied, "They were pretty matter of fact with us. It never came off as harsh, though, unless we needed it. They often and to be stern with me, though. This may come as a huge surprise, but I was a rather stubborn child." She was unable to keep the smirk from her lips with the last statement.
