The Heartwood I know that I ended it,

So she had guessed right, and he quite clearly liked this girl. It left Leonore just a little envious.. she wished that she could have someone to care about like that, too.

Well.. why not something practical. Something she could hold herbs in, like a skull or a pelt. Leonore would be happy to be offered such a gift. Maybe it wasn't pretty like a flower or a feather, but it was useful. That was far more important in her eyes.

Katmai moved from the topic of gifts and back to questioning Leonore about herself. What a weirdo. Um.. well, what did she like to do? It was a good question. I used to like listening to my aunt's stories.. and I spent a lot of time watching a litter of pups on the coast. I guess I liked doing that. Was that a good enough answer?

I guess my life is pretty boring, huh?
