Ouroboros Spine but what about your quiet treason?

Skippable unless directly addressed, she’ll leave after one round unless spoken to >:) Tags for ref!

Caring for three daughters was a difficulty, but she had @Valiant . Where before she had not had anyone, she now had husband. It was a gentle life, quiet. This soft morning, she had just pulled @Lariat into her arms, draping the babe in her tongue to prepare her for the day. @Nantahala she had already cleaned, and her fierce little lily had not taken it for a second. Her last born, her ferocious lightning girl, was the last. Vairë sung a gentle song to herself as she cleaned her children.

A lilt, on the breeze.

Vairë stiffened.

Betrayer! Old Doe trumpeted, the slash of her muzzle through the air seeming like the crash of thunder. 

Her cloud-water sister. 

Vairë left the girls with Valiant.

With every step, Old Doe’s hooves haunted her tracks.

She left you. That was the angry girl in her chest, the manifestation of the rage she had known before the deer.

She abandoned her herd. Old Doe seethed. Moondoe flattened her ears against their tirade.

She is my sister.

Abandoner! Just like the dove and the sea-hawk!

Betrayer!

Deceiver!

Disgrace!

She hissed, sharply, to shut them up.

A white pelt, a ginger one. Anaa was there first. And in front of her..

Vairë’s jaw clamped tight. Strings of drool gathered unwillingly against her lips. She was vaguely aware that her lungs were moving, she was breathing fast, but nothing was returning to her lungs. She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t face the sister who had wanted to be there for her, and yet left. Who had promised to be there for her children, but had found some quality lacking. She was Moondoe, now, stepping ever closer to becoming moonwoman in her own right, but this she could not do.

This, she was scared of.

Vairë turned to leave, her legs shaking with every step.. She never should have left the girls.
