Silvertip Mountain The friendly visit

Mason grinned when she said she had come to see him. He felt excited pleasure flush through his body, and he breathed a soft sigh of relief. His cool uncle wasn’t gonna steal Desna from him, if he could help it. Then Desna continued and Mason gawped at her – he knew of broken families, but not one where the Mom and Dad lived in separate packs. How… weird. Mason remembered something about Scarlett being bullied as a youngster, but he didn’t imagine this would be a good reason to leave her with puppies. Or perhaps they had separated when Desna was a bit older… when Scarlett got sick? Mason’s mouth twisted with his emotions but he allowed her to continue without verbally passing judgement on her Dad.

 

“I’m real glad you did.” He replied, his smile returning to reach his eyes. He felt his heart fluttering about in his chest like a spring butterfly. “Would you like me to show you around?” he indicated the mountain behind him. She didn’t want to go yet, so he would love to give her the guided tour. Mason looked around him furtively, hoping Steady didn’t materialise to swoop Desna off her paws.
