Swiftcurrent Creek let the rain wash away the pain

While she knew Scimitar would be slow to accept Bazi back into his heart, she had never expected him to be so cold toward her. Kas had half a mind to berate him right then and there, but his words to Kieran stopped her in her tracks. He needed to talk her? About what? She turned to Kieran and nodded, indicating that it was alright. Then she turned to Bazi and gave her cheek a gentle nudge. "I'll come check on you in a while. Bring you something to eat, hm?"

She was worried about what her brother had to say to her. What could have gone wrong during their time away? The search party had been gone for a little over two weeks. Surely nothing drastic could have happened in that time. Kaskara looked back to Scimitar, her two-toned eyes searching his face for any indication of his intentions, but found his thoughts barred from her. Her tongue remained silent, however, as she waited for the others to leave, so her brother could speak plainly about what was troubling him, for clearly something weighed heavily upon his mind.
