Firefly Glen I wish you well, but desire never leaves

Sitting here moping wasn’t going to get her any closer to answers, but she still stayed a little longer. She was torn between two options - confrontation or avoidance. The first would always be more attractive for its ability to resolve things more quickly, but resolution could oftentimes mean “ruin”. Was it worth the risk?

Everything always had to be so complicated. There was really no difference between ruining things now and ruining them later, except ruining them now would save a hell of a lot of trouble. Maybe that there was the answer.

Fennec stood up and began to head back the way she came, leaving the den to its unclaimed fate. Maybe some creature would find it and use it at some point. This place had nothing left for her.

The waterfall was still too close for her to hear Meerkat approaching over it, but she was on a collision course with her sister as she doubled back anyway. Likely, unless she announced herself, Fennec would get into near-impact proximity before noticing she was there.
