Wapun Meadow i must become a lion hearted girl

concern flashes briefly in mismatched eyes as her sister starts to cry and she finds herself wincing- jaw opening hurriedly to blurt something probably stupid because she hadn't meant to hurt her more! but she's saved from her growing panic at her inability to do anything right and simply emits a surprised gasp as the dark girl flings herself forward to embrace her. she stumbles backwards slightly but quickly regains her footing before the two can go tumbling into the flowers and exhales a sharp relief as she returns the gesture with a fierce amount of emotion. god in those couple days she'd missed her so much without even knowing! 

her face is buried into her sibling, inhaling her scent as eyes remain squeezed shut and only when the bundle of fur against her begins to speak does she lift her head and gaze down- ears tilted forward. her mouth turns up at the corners, eyes glittering with tears pricking at the corners as she's hit with a breathtaking rush of emotions. everything from pain to an overpowering love and a need to protect her sister is present and she has to take a moment before she can even begin to word a response.

"don't feel bad! you didn't want to upset me i get it now i was just upset over them leaving and i took my anger out on you and i feel so awful about it but you shouldn't feel bad at all you did nothing wrong! and you're great at making us all feel better but..." she thinks back to her talk with papa and how she'd suddenly decided it was okay to be sad, sometimes you had to stop fighting it and accept it as a part of life. it had as much right to be an emotion as anything else even if it wasn't exactly fun. "it's okay to not always be strong, you don't need to keep everyone happy all the time..even papa gets sad sometimes" she thinks back to coming across him staring into the creek, the way his shoulders had sagged with a private moment of weariness and how rather than upsetting her she'd found comfort in the display of humanity. 

she smiles gently at her suggestion, drawing back from her now to give them room to gather themselves up once more. "sure i'd love to explore...and we can definitely look out for them" it would definitely feel better to feel as if she were doing something to help rather than hanging around moping and she had the feeling lainie felt the same so she'd shake out her little body and inhale the warm air deeply. so many different scents; all pleasant, bombarded her and she felt her heavy heart lift a little. despite the hardships going on it was hard to stay sad in the golden hued meadow as birds sang and insects hummed across dancing flowers of all colours. she turned to her sister and nudged her lightly before murmuring; "it's beautiful isn't it?" and who knows what else lies out there...
