After she had finished with his burs, the male thanked her and said maybe that he would be her friend. Syn felt happy about that, but then it vanished when the male bid her leave. Her ears fell back dejectedly. "Syn go." Her usual spastic mood was shadowed with sadness as she slowly turned away from the bear and left. She stopped only once to look back at him enjoying his rabbit before continuing on to walk alone elsewhere. She didn't feel like exploring, or painting, or doing much of anything. She found a warm patch of sunshine and laid down to bask in it with a sigh. Perhaps if she gave the pack more time, she would find a good friend.
