Silverlight Terrace sway my way

As long as they walked, Fennec had enough innate sense (from years of experience) to avoid most obstacles. It was only when she sped up that things became a problem, but fortunately, her sister seemed content to take things at her pace. Fennec rarely found someone who wasn’t and found herself taking it for granted most of the time. She barely thought about it anymore.

I can’t tell. Mom’s different, I have to make sure I’m facing the right direction and sometimes it’s hard to judge when to talk and when to wait. So she misses things. I haven’t noticed that with you. Fennec smirked. So if I end up doing something wrong, let me know. It was mostly a joke; it didn’t sound like Meerkat needed accommodating.

She followed a bit longer, towards the quarry, thinking. Then she huffed out a small laugh, letting the distraction fall away. Why the hell not? Sisters, and all.

Feels unfair, letting me have the one-up on you. You need a secret too, I think. Mom knows about everything, but let me think… She considered it a moment. Towhee knew about Fig, knew about her marriages and heartbreaks. But she didn’t know about the plans she’d made and broken, time and time again.

I’ve always wanted to claim a spot of my own. Pack or no pack, just some place where I can have a garden that lasts and a family. Where I decide if we stay or go. I always kind of wanted the Bramblepoint for it, but I don’t think I could stand being so close to Bronco, or get away with avoiding him if I did. I figured, telling mom… you know how she gets. She’d probably try to claim it for me. Fennec snorted at the joke (which was really only half a joke). She loved her mom dearly, but she was intense when it came to the things her family wanted.

Now you’ve got something on me, in case I ever let it slip. Similar levels too. It wouldn’t be a huge deal if Towhee found out, she just preferred to play her wants close to the chest. She didn’t want to feel pressed into making a move she wasn’t ready for, and she didn’t know if she ever would be ready to approach that one.
