Larksong Grotto Requiem For A Dream

Lilac listened to the black furred male speak, but before she could respond she noticed a female come appear and give the male a friendly nudge then eye her curiously.  Was this the male’s mate?  She decided not to ask.  Her mind then began to focus on the male’s question.  It made her think once more.  How long had she been a loner now?  Well... she was three now and she had gotten separated at six months, some how miraculously surviving those first month.  So then there were twelve months and six months was half of that, so then six months subtracted by three years equaled two years and six months.  Huh.  She really had been alone for quite a while.  She answered the black furred male’s question.

“I’ve been a loner for two years and six months.”  She replied solemnly, hoping that her answer had been pretty accurate and that all the calculations lined up.  She was silently actually impressed to have survived on her own as a loner for such a long time.  It made her feel good, special in a way.  Although even though it made her feel proud she would do anything in her power to take her old life back, with all her family and friends.  The past was the past though, there was no going back.  Maybe she could start anew here though if she was allowed, and she had a pretty good feeling that she would be accepted.  Then maybe she could get a new start, a new beginning.
