Blacktail Deer Plateau cruel to be kind

neither did peregrine's outburst inspire more out of the darkling, who looking more and more like her namesake each day. she was smallest of her siblings, ears the largest, and now that a tawny overcoat was beginning to grow in she looked like a wolf version of the vesper bat.

at least she wasn't blind as a bat, unlike her thick-skulled brother.

her orange eyes watched him, bored, as she took a seat next to mother, unaware that maegi's state of mind was more concerning than the overall moroseness that afflicted them all on the plateau. inside, however, her anger continued to boil as he raged on nonsensically; after all, for as quickly as vesper had matured, she was still just a child.

you're an idiot she hissed out of the blue, lunging towards him in the same breath. whether she made contact with her teeth, body, or not, she continued: we would be dead if not for them. phox wouldn't have a family to destroy if not for mother and father. hadn't they explained all of this?

why the fuck did you and prevost run away anyway?? had he not learned from vesper's little adventure and mou's anger with her? she was trying to go back to their home, not leave them altogether. what were her brother and sister running away from? why'd you have to go and fuck everything up?

it was the most she had said in weeks, and the most she had spoken to peregrine.. ever. but how was that her fault when he kept to prevost's side? how was tending to their smallest sister wrong? hadn't everyone seen how blueberry had needed her more?
