Moonspear World is our playground

Nishu mentioned a secret and Wildfire waited a bit pensively. His first several words earned yet another round of slow blinks from her. He was still growing...? She quickly cottoned on to his actual meaning. She bobbed her head. Everyone had room to learn and grow, even the oldest and wisest wolves. She immediately thought of her father, an Alpha and master of three trades. And then Nishu's mentions of bears made her think of her Aunt Finley.

Wildfire felt a sudden and overpowering urge to cry. Her amber eyes began to well and she turned forcibly away. "Sorry," she said in a quiet voice. "I'm actually having a kind of off day. Can I catch up with you another time, Nishu?" She waited as long as she could for a response, then pardoned herself, skittering up the mountain to find somewhere private. After that, she was done running; she would let it all catch up to her and brace herself for the inevitable crashing and burning.

Thanks for the thread! Let's have another sometime, when she's not in such a weird mood. :)
