Firefly Ravine One year old and counting.

After taking a large bite of the fish, Rain tore at it happily, swallowing great mouthfuls of salty goodness. The fish turned sour on her palate as she heard Zephyr's idea. Zephyr had become a father to her, she didn't want him to leave so soon. Eyes widening, she felt hurt, did he not want to stay with them anymore? She ignored his question and ran over to him, nuzzling into his fur. 
'Don't leave! please. I've started to see you as, like a dad to me. I don't wanna lose you.' 
Stepping back, she answered a question before he could say it. 
'And before you ask, I'm not sure I'd wanna join. Even if me and Mom came, I'd need Teci to come too! She's like my sister. But if we all left, Sen and Depp wouldn't have a pack anymore, and they'd be alone. I don't wanna hurt anyone!' 
Her eyes starting to dampen, she rubbed at them fiercely with his pinkish paws.  Feeling conflicted, she didn't know what to do, She just sat there in front. Waiting for his response, a few stray tears rolled down her cheeks.
