Phoenix Maplewood Fade into you

Desna watched the young man smile back at her. His golden eyes seemed to glint like gold. Desna kept a smile on her face when Mason spoke that he wanted to come and see her. But it feel a bit when he said he was worried about her. The dark colored girl let her face fall into a bit of a frown. "Why would you be worried about me?," she asked, sounding curious. "I can take care of myself! I'm almost a hunter," she returned, not getting that his worry was about her losing her mother. She though he was worried that she wouldn't survive without him and well that was a bit drastic because she was quite independent.

She briefly wondered if Mason took his caregiver too literally. But then her mind starting thinking and she realized that she might have taken his words the wrong way. "Oh, but you mean with my mother and all that? Oh.. um yeah," she spoke her happy face falling away making room for a sad one. She looked at her paws for a moment, head dipping down a bit. "She died. It hurts but I am trying not to think about it," she spoke to the male and let out a soft shrug. She missed her a lot, but focussing on hunting helped. Plus it also helped for Desna to think that she wasn't in pain. She didn't want to cry in front of Mason though, she wanted to be tougher than that.
