Horizon Ridge Dusky Dawn and Furry Paws

Thistle was disappointed when the elder she wolf Nuka did not show and it hurt a little more than she cared to admit,but the other was still dealing with loss herself so it was only fair that she give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she just couldn't make it.

Thistle cringed at the offhand way that Pump spoke about her discretion with Crete of the Plateau. It had been a dalliance she did not and would not regret and she did care for him in only the way a first could be cared for.

Thistle shifted her weight but lifted her head to let her gaze linger on each of the males again and they lingered longer on Ragnar as he and he alone had guessed the truth of the situation days before this. And he alone was her only support system at the moment unless the other's took her side as well.

Thistle spoke quietly but her voice reached all around "I am a bleeding heart Pump, so perhaps my decision would not be best I am also incredibly bias in this situation. So rather than give you a decision that I would make how about I give you a plea? I am more than willing to take whatever punishment i deserve whether it be a flogging or banishment or death what have you, but I do ask that you think of the pups and how they could be a future for the pack even if I am not available to care for them barring on your decision. I care for all of you and would like very much to raise these pups myself among you, I think they would be a benefit to all of us and we to them, but again I will take what is doled to me. With that she fell silent and blinking back the tears adn swallowing past the lump of fear that had lodged in her throat she waited for what the others would say.
