Nova Peak Memories to move on

"Of course. I know it was hard, but thank you for sharing that with me." Kas smiled at his suggestion to move onto more light-hearted topics. She didn't blame him for the change of subject; she wouldn't want to talk of her past at length if it was as painful as Kieran's. Even though she nodded agreement, she was still very glad that he had shared it with her. His past made it clear why he was so quiet and withdrawn. "I didn't mean to cause you any pain, Kieran. I hope your burden is lifted just a little by telling me."

Having said that, it was truly time to move onto other topics. With a shake of her head to rid herself of the darker thoughts, she smiled and turned back to him. "What do you think about Bazi and her pups? Are you excited for them?" Kaskara was ecstatic over the news, and any opportunity she had to talk about them, she would. She couldn't wait to be an aunt!
