Blackfeather Woods Blip

All of the determination that had welled up and solidified in her chest popped like a sad balloon under a pin with his words.  He seemed to think this was less urgent than she did, and the evening hid the cloud of rising smoke (at least from Puffin).  Oh! — um, okay.  The words escaped from her quietly; she didn't know who Takiyok was, and Puffin was insulted by the perceived insinuation that she wasn't up to task.  Heat rose to her cheeks as she swallowed her shame.  She should have thought more before she just jumped into action.  Nightmares didn't mean anything.

The trembling in her legs began again as he stepped forward to grab the rabbit.  Embarrassed, she squeaked out, Puffin, before she quickly turned tail and took off into the darkness of the woods.
