Broken Boulder leaving traces of us down the boulevard

She did not deserve the kind of pure, undying love that Olive gave her so freely.  She did not deserve her children, for she had put them through hell coming here.  She had not deserved Terance, for everything she had to repay him with was nothing but sorrow.  Perhaps she had not even deserved Mato.  If she had stayed inside the territory, she wondered if they would be ruling the King Elk together now.  Not that she'd change anything.  But if she ever saw him again...

Well, it didn't matter, because it was likely that she never would.  Olive's smooth tongue smooths across her lip.  There is a spark that she hasn't seen in the druid since before the birth of their babies.  If nothing else, Olive was entitled to the happiness she'd found in the Sanctuary.  

It even lifted Seabreeze's spirits.  She couldn't help but cheer up, even just a little bit, when her sister was around.  Olive's smile was infectious, and she did everything she could to see it.  Me? she goads, pressing the cold leather of her muzzle into her sister's smooth and finely crafted cheek, Why, what ever for?
