Hushed Willows Help An Old Girl Out

Kunik tried reconciling her about the terrain, and her touch brought a genuine smile to her face. Even so, the brown female caught on that there was something more.

She decided on the latter, not wanting to deal with the scolding she would get for refusing food.
"Just feeling a bit useless, my dear. Tavi left her son alone in the den, and when I went to check on him, I decided to take him to a warmer part of the cave.

But then, I think she felt I was judging or scolding her, and she started acting like I was keeping him from her."
The elders golden ears plastered down, and a frown set on her pretty features.
