Otatso Wetlands does she wanna get it all back?

Man, it's the best when a place finally starts feeling like a home. Ben and I basically lived like hobos in our house for 43 days... we lived in one room & slept on a mattress on the floor. x__x

It's so nice when you can finally start furnishing! Did you move recently?

So, there was a kill. Her posture remained submissive, her eyes upon the earth, and she licked the saliva from her lips as subtly as she could. In another situation, Magpie might have understood the other female's offer differently. As it was, it sounded like... slavery. In exchange for the protection of a pack. She would pull her weight, regardless, but the stranger's choice of words made the whole thing sound a little more sinister to the teenager. But it was better than death. And her belly, suddenly aching with hunger, would be filled.

She remained silent for a time, unmoving. Magpie knew she could still leave, if she truly wanted to — but then what? Hope for a better offer, when all she had been expecting from the wolves of this valley was a swift, if brutal, death? It was a risk she couldn't take. She could die waiting for an offer that promised something more similar to what she had known amongst the Corvidae. This way, at least, she would be alive to return to them if she ever had the chance. And if that chance didn't come, she would still be alive.

Magpie lifted herself slightly, careful to avoid eye contact, and took a tentative step forward.
