Bramblepoint I won't stumble back

The boy at Wildfire's side remained quiet, which was momentarily distracting from the mournful tone of the encounter. She wondered if perhaps he was mute and began to wonder about how he'd become so and what his life had been like being unable to speak. But Wildfire distracted her with a question, and her ears perked at the sound of her voice.

"Yes," Liffey confirmed, offering a small smile as her tail began to wag, "Mom and Dad have told me all kinds of stories about you and Raven and Nightjar growing up at the Caldera - the tornadoes, you and Ninja getting lost in the cave, when you climbed that mountain with Mom and she had to pull you out of a hole." She paused, unaware that she'd slowly abandoned her somber tone with each word and now there was wonder sparkling in her eyes, "You've done so many cool things. I like the stories. It'd be cool to have adventures like that."
