Sheepeater Cliff it's not over

Her first thought was that he didn’t deserve to know. Her second was, as usual, more reasonable, which was why she never went with the first when she spoke with Killdeer about his dad. She would likely never lose that regret that said she should have let him ditch when he wanted to. Killer could have never known his dad, and Fennec could have been done with him.

It was selfish, but according to him, asking him to stay had been too.

That’s fine. I’ll find somewhere to be, for a little while. She wouldn’t go with him but she wouldn’t resent him for needing to go.

Just don’t stay there.. She thought fervently, though she kept that to herself too. It was the one place she wouldn’t follow him.
