Swiftcurrent Creek When it's all said and done

Tuwawi's touch was comforting, and when she embraced her, Danica leaned into it gratefully. It seemed she might not have to worry about a home after all. She did not want to bring ire between the two packs either, though. "Nor do I. If necessary, I can always move on." The words burned in her maw, for she knew that to do so yet again would be awful, but she kept her tone neutral. She would rather leave than have Tuwawi and Njal resent her presence and the trouble she might bring down on their new family.

She wanted to know how it happened so quickly. "I also told her of my feelings for her. It may have been unwise, but I couldn't keep lying to her." Some might not see omission as a lie, but in Danica's mind, they were one in the same. Some lies she was okay with, but when it came to who she was and what she wanted, she refused.

"It's better that we know where we stand, now. And I doubt there will be trouble so long as I stay away from the Creek. After all, it is on her orders that I go with you." She was surprised Bazi didn't want her to stay as far from the pups as possible. Wouldn't want her infecting them with her gay, would we? The thought was uncharitable, but emotions were high right now.
