Broken Antler Fen I miss being at home in the woods

Liri smiled as Sebastian spoke of his children; a real smile even if it was a sad and nostalgic one. She'd no children to speak of though only a year ago she had hopes of bearing some for Samuel. The idea of a family was terrifying to her now and Liri was certain she would never again know love, nor would there be any small white floofballs like herself running amuck. 

"Indeed," she agreed softly. How many wolves had she befriended before they simply dissapeared into the shadows of Blackfoot Forest? How many had she let into her heart only for them to desert her? Perhaps it was best to keep everyone at arm's length for the rest of her days.

"I should go. There's things to be done somewhere, places to see, borders to protect at the least," Liri sent him a last smile as she stood. In truth, she could feel the end of their conversation sputtering out like a stepped on flame. Best to leave before it got awkward.

"See you," Liri murmured by way of goodbye, turning and padding away from the Cove and into the darkened forest as the sun continued to rise.
