Phoenix Maplewood Peace for a While Longer

Esaro pulled her closer, calming her frantic sobs. She sniffled still, but his words had caught her attention. He didnt think her ugly? Surely, he was lying. She looked up at his face with a confused and questioning look in her golden eyes, as if she simply didn't understand. She never forgot the feeling of wolves eyes burning into her, judging her, whispering about her. They treated her as if she was a threat, a freak.... All over looks. 
              "T-Tough? No way. Y-you're just trying to make me feel better."
She shook her head, burying it back into his soft chest fur with a soft sigh.
                       "I don't understand it either, not outside of your own survival.... Bitterness and anger, would be my best guess."
Now that she'd stopped shaking, albeit a few sniffles, it was easier to understand her. Also easier for her to think, giving her a sense of control over herself and her emotions again.
