Redhawk Caldera friends break up, friends get married

Creidwen's comment sent panic through Sylvie—had she not seemed willing enough to help haul? Heh, b-both! she said, masking her anxiety with a nervous laugh. She didn't want to appear unwilling and hoped she was coming off the right way, even if it was something she didn't want to do. These self-doubts swam through her mind as she got up and followed after her sister.

It's ... strange to be back living with mommy and daddy, but I-It's nice to be able to help them right when they needed it. This wasn't to say that they asked for her help often, but she always felt accomplished when she did.

B-But I should probably p-put on my big girl panties and find a den for myself, she said, softer, knowing she couldn't live with them forever.
