Lion Head Mesa I don't want to leave

Sky chuckled at the insistence of the girl. 

"Sure Kiddo. If I'm still out here in a year, maybe we can start our own pack, but I can't make any promises at this point." She said, gently pawing the top of Misty's head. Like tousling the hair of a child. 

"I'll miss you too Sweetheart, but I'm excited for you! It's like a new adventure." Skyshire smiled. It was always good for the young to experience as much as possible. She wondered if she would be as easily persuaded to let her own pups go and see the world one day. It was good to play Mom for a while, get a little practice in and see what it might have been like to have a better mom than she had. 


"Your welcome Mist. Keep your head up, follow the rules, and you'll be just fine." She replied and licked the top of Misty's head. They could have been family with their light coats, though Misty had a fair bit more silvering.
