Lost Creek Hollow for the line in my life

just wanted to throw a reply up to keep things running, but everyone is still welcome to pop in!!

in the back of the redleaf woman’s mind, there trickled a stream of self-doubt: what if she was wrong to bring them here, placing her entire family st the hands of a man that for all intents and purposes, was just little more than a stranger? she fretted besides laurel as they waited, relief sinking into her tensely held shoulders as she beheld the scarred male in his arrival.

alongside the cubs, fire, and laurel, indra breathed a long-held sigh. she was sure their arrival was unanticipated, and frankly, unprecedented— she could read the confusion in terance’s soft emerald eyes. he was soon flanked by a woman Indra could not read; she did not miss the pointed look to one of their pups, but did not have the opportunity to inspect further — for the confident voice of her sister broke clearly over the crisp fall morning. indra thought laurel had summarized their rather deplorable position admirably, and had little to add besides a small smile that did not light the cold halls of her tired eyes with its warmth. we need a family; not just a pack and home. indra’s voice was quiet but plaintive — she knew their decision had been right, but it didn’t make things any easier.
