Blacktail Deer Plateau Loosen my tie

"Oh," said Saena when Tytonidae concluded that Summer wasn't cute, "that's a bummer." She didn't really know how to explain cute, either. If asked, she might have described a funny feeling in the tummy that meant another wolf was cute, but that explanation was so subjective that either of them could have concluded that a less-than-fresh meal was cute. She could have said it was fun to look at cute wolves, but that would make it sound like non-cute wolves weren't worth looking at. She settled for not explaining.

"So are you guys like... friends? Are you gonna visit?" After a moment, she said, "maybe it'd be cool to visit mom, too." Saena and Hawkeye had shared all of maybe one moment together, but that didn't mean the pale girl didn't miss her foster mother. She hadn't been able to say goodbye at the time, so sometimes Hawkeye would cross her mind in a regretful moment. Often, she reminded herself that Hawkeye had left as well and wasn't worth visiting, even if Saena couldn't possibly classify it the same as her other parent's decision.
