Sunbeam Lair can you remind me who i am

Laurel felt a twist of guilt as she turned away, but at the same time it was the only thing she could do. What a preposterous thought, anyway, that she could have some fun, a new friend maybe, even.

The last words stung, though. Laurel wasn't quite ready to admit that through all of her years of life she hadn't accumulated the skill to navigate mountainous terrain. She was quite a big of a generalist, but mountains she hadn't often needed to travel through. It was why she'd been practising in the first place.

Laurel halted in her tracks and she gritted her teeth while she swallowed away something insulting — such as 'are you saying I don't know how to walk on a mountain path' or 'are you saying I'm lying' — as she didn't want to get into a fight. Instead, she just said, Thanks, but it came out withered and defeated. It was not often that anyone got to see a glimpse at Laurel's soul, and it wasn't a pretty sight.

She continued to slump off, not heading any of the advice that she was given, though using careful steps. Her paw slipped on some loose rubble once or twice but she managed to recover herself without any more falls, thankfully.

I enjoyed this thread, even though the last posts were heart-breaking <3 I hope they meet again!
