Moonspear What Have I Done?

She slept well, rising in the morning just as chipper as she would typically. She rose from her den, stretching and headed to the nearest river for a drink. She was planning her day mentally, thinking of what she would do. Perhaps she could replenish a food cache this time, and not the herbs. Or maybe she could hunt for Amekaze directly. She'd kept her distance, not wanting to intrude on the new family and their bundles. Her curiosity was starting to get the better of her though, she wanted to see the children. She also wanted to see Charon interacting with them.

It wasn't until Judas' howl snapped her from her thoughts that she recalled the night before. Instantly her stomach rolled, worried. Would Judas tell her something benign? Had she imagined the regret, the despair in his voice? Was she over-reacting after what he'd told her? She suddenly felt consumed with guilt and ashamed. Why should she assume he'd done something wrong? Just because he'd shared his past? What kind of friend did that make her? To reassure him he wasn't a bad wolf now, only to suspect the worst right away?

Feeling awful, she turned and dashed off to find him. When Judas came into view, she saw him staring into the distance. She did not slow her pace, sure that he would hear her coming. She landed at his side with a bounce, following his gaze. "What's up there?" She said pleasantly, staring intently.
