Porcupine Ridge Here, There And Everywhere

The dark woman was mentally screaming at herself to get it together since she was in the presence of another, but she had been fighting herself for so long that she was beginning to lose the war. Ibis gave a friendly chuff to get her attention, first Vespera darted her gaze to look at the woman and what she could see was a smile painted on her face, so the dark woman craned her head up with her face more calm and interested. The woman then answered her question by saying that she would, of course, want everyone to be happy and to be healthy and together.

To be a family.

The woman felt youthful and innocent for the first time in a long time, her ears swiveled forward with a wonderous look in her eyes. Ibis wanted the same thing that she always wanted a family. A family to keep close and to always be with. "yeah..." A look of realization morphed on her face as she turned her muzzle to look at the ground once more, then, she raised her crown and gazed at the sky.

"Me too."

The girl said that everyone had left her except Reiko, another cord that hit hard on Vespera, she folded her ears back a bit and her eyes narrowed a bit, "guess we both have something in common..." she muttered as she was trying to shelf the anger that was boiling inside of her.
