Blacktail Deer Plateau My shadow falls against the wall

"I guess I am," Osprey agreed, knowing that in any other place she would probably be exiled by now, shunned for her sins, stripped of the rank, rights and privileges. They had done no such thing, believing that her own misery was a punishment enough. Yet... giving no guarantees about the future either. They had shown interest and willingness to help, to deal with it like a family would, but she had rejected them. Because of her fear, her depression, her uncertainty of, where she stood in this matter. In the end - what was that she wanted to have in life? Everyone seemed to have some sort of goals and dreams. It was time for het to make a decision too, because it was very clear now that she could not live the same way as she had before.

Therefore - as odd as it might sound - she found that Saena's honesty about the situation was refreshing and relieving. The girl did not overlook the fact that she had broken a law, didn't try to make things right, when they were not. It was a good thing. In a way. "Thanks for being honest," Osprey broke the silence after it had lasted for a while. It occurred to her then that Saena's first birthday was not that far away either. Being the disowned family member, she did not think that it was her place to congratulate the girl for the upcoming big event. It would not be taken well. "You will be a yearling soon. Do you have any plans, where... where to go from there?" did she still want to become an alpha here or the life at the plateau kept proving over and over again that she had to take her own path.
