Blacktail Deer Plateau I search for someone who hides

Saena was unable to stop a giggle from bubbling up. "Sperm donor?" she said, almost snorting. "Like, your dad wasn't your... dad?" It probably wouldn't have been as funny to her if she'd known her uncle was as much a leaver as her father was. She'd heard of Crete, of course; the male had been mute, and had left the Plateau without announcing his intentions shortly after Peregrine was made Alpha. That was the extent of the introduction, though. She never would've imagined that Crete would father a litter and abandon them, nor that her father would do something similar over a longer time period... but that's what had happened.

Saena shook her head when Gunnar said he wasn't sure how to feel and said, "I wouldn't know either. Y'know, when my sister—not Junior, my other sister—left, she said she hated us. I was pretty upset she was gone at first. Now that I think of it, though... I think I prefer it." What treason! Saena missed Tytonidae, of course, and would have been happy to see her sister return to the Plateau, but there was also a small part of her that was glad Ty wasn't there. The girl had been strange and, as selfish as it might be, Saena was glad that the adults weren't fawning over Tytonidae and passing off her strangeness as normal anymore.
