Sun Mote Copse Only blue or black days

A toad?!  She pulled a face and laughed.  It'd have to be the fastest toad ever to help me hunt.  Those were the loud things that hung out around ponds.  They didn't sound or smell very impressive.  But I guess if that's all you can catch it's the thought that counts.  

Like him, it felt good to be back to this, givin cheeky comments and talking again.  She'd never been mad, but as she felt her worry and insecurity disappear, she found she could forget that he had been gone. Forget that he might have enjoyed being free of the responsibility of her... because that was a stupid thought.  If she asked him for help, he could always say no, but he was her brother and wouldn't.  It was as simple and easy as that.
