Bramblepoint I won't stumble back

Wildfire didn't seem too upset by her comment. Actually, Liffey sensed that it had lightened the weight of gloom around her, just ever so slightly. The girl perked at this, relaxing as her cousin reassured her and then asked for her name.

"I'm Liffey," she answered, pausing before adding, "Elwood and Finley are my parents, so we're cousins." Liffey smiled, but restrained her prior excitement, realizing now that it was inappropriate in that moment. She bit her lip awkwardly before settling down onto her haunches, glancing briefly at Jackrabbit before looking back. "I'm sorry about your mom and dad," she offered in a tiny voice, her ears falling back.
