Duck Lake They wanna keep it PG

Gonna try and be vague/make mild assumptions for the ongoing thread in Swiftcurrent's claim <3 lmk if i need to make any changes!

Stepping away from the Creek had been a decision made with haste.
If only to stop the rest of the Pack from killing Arashi...
Maybe she'd regret it; But Sovereign felt she'd soon find out. 

The agouti man spoke...
I didn't come to pick a fight...

"Could've fucking fooled me." Sovereign rumbled, but from there, held her tongue long enough for Arashi to finish.

I just didn't expect you to find a new pack so...

Silence. A distant look in his eyes before he returned to the present. To her. 
With a warmth in his eyes as he stated 

You look so much like her. I miss her, as I missed you.

Sovereign's ears slanted slightly, and for a long time she was silent, mulling over how to respond. 

Eventually, voice softer, the Princess sighed,  
"I know I share mom's appearance, save for her physical scars. I see her every time I look at myself in the water." 

Sovereign looked away for a moment to gather herself further.

"I buried her with Ensio some time ago, before we joined Swiftcurrent. But...I have her skull." The girl admitted. 
A sharp pang of guilt streaked through her gut as she admitted to having part of her mother's remains. 
It showed itself in the small pricks of water forming in her eyes. 

Shaking her head, a heavy exhale left her maw before she looked at Arashi again, this time with an expectant air - what was his excuse for the part he played in throwing her to the monsters who had wanted her life? 

She was most definitely trying to change the subject, but the pride in her dared not care.
