Redhawk Caldera My precious

Sebastian indicated that at least one of the wildflowers could be used medicinally, which made her tail thump. He seemed pleased with the gift in general, even paying her a compliment for being so caring. She tucked her muzzle toward her chest a bit bashfully, amber eyes dancing. She then bent forward to press her nose against the side of his muzzle.

"You came and visited me when I was hurt, remember?" she reminded him. She was happy to return the favor. "You're my friend," she told him, in case there was any doubt. Wildfire felt comfortable enough to swipe her tongue over his cheek in a friendly (and hopefully comforting) kiss.

She lapsed into silence as Sebastian explained what had happened. Wildfire felt her blood run cold and her body stiffen when he mentioned another half-sister. She had purportedly met Saena once, though she scarcely remembered that encounter. The fact that she wanted to kill Sebastian caused her lips to part. She barely registered anything he said beyond the words, "...she wanted to kill me."

When silence fell after Sebastian finished, Wildfire did something surprising: she curled her lip and growled low in her throat. Why were her half-sisters so damn murderous? What was their problem? Of course, the child knew next to nothing about her father's dramatic familial history. All she knew was that her dad's older kids were just horrible. If any more of them came around here, threatening the pack, Wildfire would be happy to join the effort to eradicate the rest of them.

These angry thoughts passed through her head, then she relaxed and glanced apologetically at Sebastian. "You won't," she promised, belatedly registering his words. "Mom and dad forbidded me and Nightjar and Raven from leaving the caldera anyway," she told him. "Did you know I'm a Warrior too?" He seemed to know about her Outrider ambitions and they'd already talked about Naturalism in the past, yet she wasn't sure if he knew about her secondary trade. "I'll kick Saena's butt if I ever see her," she grumbled accordingly.
