Ravensblood Forest I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name

When Thistle reacted to her cries exactly like Aunt Willow would have, Osprey Jr. sobbed all the harder. She couldn't even manage to speak to answer her guardian's question. She continued bawling and eventually shoved her face against Thistle's warm chest, burying it in the woman's cinnamon fur and soaking it with her tears. With her eyes closed like this, she even imagined Thistle was Blue Willow... and slowly but surely her paroxysm began to pass until she was sniffling and hiccuping against her foster mother's foreleg.
