Blackfeather Woods Walking by your side

You have no need to thank me, she murmured in return. I care about you too much to make that decision for the both of us. It would not be fair to disregard your side. A very practical way to describe how she was feeling because it was difficult for her to find a more eloquent way. This was brand new territory for her. She had never had this kind of relationship with anyone, and she found herself severely lacking in the skills to express herself properly. She had spent so much time trying to hide things from everyone, and now that she had someone who she would allow to see her, she wasn't quite sure how to handle it. 

I am glad too, she said. She is just a little girl— Taki swallowed and shook her head. I do not understand how anyone can do that to a child. It filled her with a dangerous rage. I want to find them and tear them apart, she said fiercely. The thought might have been kept to herself in other company, but she didn't hide it from Taikon. She is strong, but no child should have to go through that. Her words had calmed some. It was unlikely that she would find the wolves who had chased Taktuq from her home, so all she could do was make sure she was safe and loved now.
