Duskfire Glacier I am 90% crap

He nodded at her offer but still did not confide in her. It was not surprising, but she hoped in the future he would take her up on her offer and let her in on his issues. He would need to learn to be honest with her if they were going continue to lead the pack together. She offered a nod in response, but otherwise dropped it, not wanting to push too much.

Taki stopped walking when Sia did and offered him a teasing eye roll when he reminded her to be diplomatic. Hey, I'm usually just being honest, but don't worry, I'll keep my not-so-nice thoughts to myself, I promise, she said with a playful shoulder bump. She wouldn't say it out loud, but he was right; she did need to keep herself in check. She wouldn't have Sia to play good cop, so if she met the Bracken Sanctuary wolves with her normal surly attitude, she was sure to ruin any chance at an alliance. She could handle this, though. She knew how to keep her brash judgments to herself if the situation called for it. 

Subtle it may have been, but she heard the worry in his question and assumed it was just the worry of an older brother for his younger sister. I planned on leaving in a few days, she replied. As eager as she was to be travelling again, she still worried about leaving. She couldn't help it; she had grown quite attached to the glacier and was a little anxious about not being here to see for herself that everything was in order. She had a few things to do before leaving and she wanted to inform Shivali and Tahani that she would be gone for a few days as well. I won't be gone very long, brother. No need to worry about me too much, she offered, the statement similar to the one she had spoken to him right before she left to find Tomkin and ended up discovering what was now their home. 

She moved close to offer a comforting nuzzle, drawing in his scent-- the comforting scent of her family. There was something off about it, though, and she tensed. The malguk took few steps back, giving her brother a once over. You're hurt, she said. I smelled it on you, she added, anger filling her face. The wound must be older, or she would have scented it right away, and it must be in an area that was easy to hide, because she had not seen it the entire time they were talking. She looked at him expectantly, waiting for his explanation and wondering who would be added to her shit list.
