Sun Mote Copse It's such a catchy song

Not only was Wildfire not angry; she understood.  Kiwi nodded, not liking that it made her mom upset but glad that she at least was ok with it.  She understood that too.  She felt similarly about Nomi, though that feeling was more an overwhelming sense of jealousy and disappointment than the betrayal she felt over Bat.  Nomi had told her, but hadn't seen fit to take her with.  It was somehow less and more at the same time.

Thanks mom, Kiwi responded, suddenly filled with an overwhelming feeling of affection.  She pushed forward to embrace her, snuggling her face up in Wildfire's ruff.  She didn't care what happened, she'd never be the reason her mom cried.

She stayed there so long as Wildfire didn't pull back, and after a minute decided to go on with what she'd brought up earlier.  I like being Regent so far.  Hopefully I can do more though. She, guiltily, had been a little mia and less than helpful with everything going on. She'd been doing the border thing! And the hunting thing.  But the packmate thing? Not so much, unless you counted yelling at them.
