Eilidh wasn't sure what she was doing out here. At first she wanted to punish her father by running away, but now she felt as if her life was ending. The dark wolf hadn't been mean to her, but suddenly she felt the weight of the world crushing her chest, and she wanted to flee back home and hide beneath her father's safe embrace. But she could't do that; it would take days to get home from here. While she was pondering her silly predicament, the other wolf asked her a question. Eilidh's ears cupped forward and she whined softly. "What? Um, no, you're not interrupting anything. I'm just, uh, trying not to freak out." Eilidh smiled softly, a little nervously, and half-chuckled. "It's my first time away from home, you see, without my parents, and I feel a little stupid."
