Blacktail Deer Plateau The hardest was losing you

"Are you sure? You don't remember anything?" Saena pressed, but she did so half-heartedly. If there was anyone she wouldn't drill too much for information, it was Junior. She hadn't forgotten the way her elder sister used to torment her with dominance displays and physical punishment. Saena didn't believe the dark Redleaf-DiSarinno was capable of it now, but she was nevertheless wary about pushing Junior over any sort of edge.

"It is pretty hot in here," she said fairly, likely because the den currently housed three wolves including herself. As Junior repositioned herself, Saena kept an eye out for any indication of what was causing her sister's infection, but aside from the scent and a limp that could've indicated anything, there were no direct signs. She was unable to see the tattered insides of Junior's forearms. Saena would have been horrified if she'd seen them and suspected anything, anyway.

She giggled when Junior started telling her a story about how they'd changed their names, then stopped when it became clear her sister was actually thinking about it. Saena couldn't help but think back to Osprey and their talk about their extensive family tree and wondering if it would be taken poorly if they sawed their branch off of it... but then she remembered Osprey defending her father's actions and didn't feel so bad about it.

"Let's do it," she encouraged Junior, letting her eyes wander to Finley, and then her lip lifted almost contemptuously. "Dad came to visit her, you know, but didn't even try to visit us. I don't want to see him ever again anyway, but he could've tried. He cares more about her than us." Fox was understandable, even if Saena refused to be understanding about it at all, but Finley wasn't his mate. "She... tried telling me that dad left the Plateau to us, but I think she's giving him too much credit. He's cut us right out of his life, hasn't he? You're right... We're orphans. But that's okay, we can make our own family, and fuck all of them."
