Blacktail Deer Plateau Hide Away

Happy 1-year birthday, sister <3

Nanook was pretty sure it was true, and Desna was part of the proof. But the polar girl said no more on the matter, too drained to argue now. If only she had the guts to tell her sister who she was... but there was something in this secrecy that made it easy to talk with Desna, easier than things had been when they'd both been aware that they were sisters to each other. Nanook knew she played a risky game in this, but she couldn't turn away.

"D'you really think a pack would want me?" she asked bluntly, daring herself to keep her gaze trained on Desna. The act stirred a deep pain in her chest - her sister had become so strong, so confident, so beautiful. Of course a pack would want her sister, but Nanook wondered, with her weathered face and icy words, if the same could ever be said of her.
