Nova Peak darkness is a harsh term don't you think?

This was the part that was likely going to burn Kiwi in the end; she didn't realize how her words would land, nor did she care.  Fact was, she didn't want Yami to go.  But after Sequoia, and Clover, she wasn't about to beg her to stay either.  It was better to pretend, and if she said it enough, she knew that in the end she'd start believing it.  Until they were a pack, officially, she wasn't going to put her trust in anyone yet.

She watched them both leave wordlessly, but noticed that neither left to depart the claim.  Good.  They'd cool off and then realize she was right, surely.  That or they were smart enough to have already realized it.  Either way, she was one stronger, and slowly but surely creeping her way to her goal.

Satisfied, she departed to make another round of her new claim's edge.
