Broken Antler Fen Not with haste

Were she a human, Brandy would have dark bags under her eyes. Instead, she trudged forward with her tail dragging on the earth, and her lemon eyes dull. Even her head hung low, but she approached with a friendly chuff and sat a foot or so from Aduins side. She didn't make eye contact with him, keeping her now worried gaze on her paws. Sebastian's words were heard and processed, but she didn't make any move for a long, drawn out couple of moments after the alpha was silent. 
               "I'll wait, then."
She shot a swift glace at her mate, waiting for him to speak first, but didn't look past his nose. The copper girl was ashamed of herself, and it was wrought across her distressed and tired face. Her words were clipped, worried, but not as harsh as she'd been the other day. Even Sebastian thought she was wrong....  But Brandy wouldn't relent: she was hurt, and she would not have the blame put on herself.
