Hideaway Strath amber alert

She hadn't entirely meant to push her brother away, but in this new place, she was starting to realize for the first time that she might not be okay alone.  Even if she was too young to hunt, or to fight, instinctively she still understood the concept of independence.  At the plateau it had meant she could run off on her own with little fear because, at first, she could see what she was running into.  And later she could see it because she knew it was there.

Here she'd need to find another way, and she hadn't managed to come around to asking Feeya for help yet.  Why should she need him when he didn't need her to be happy here?  He seemed to get around fine, and that bothered her too, because she should be able to do anything he could.  

Fenn froze when an unfamiliar gait approached and a strange male spoke - the same one who Papa has brought home recently, a new someone who'd live here with them.  She shook her head, and her ears went back, but she did feel a little better when Fig came up on her side.  I'm splorin. She replied, in a way that meant obviously no interference was necessary.  

Using where his voice had sounded from, she continued to walk, away and around.  Silently she hoped Fig would come with.... but if he didn't, she was going to learn this place.
