King Elk Forest Salt and Pepper

it was something she had considered — talking to him — but the silvery prince had been so distant lately that she wondered if she could find him if she tried.  he'd been avoiding her too, right?

she nods in admission of gracious' statements.  its true.  it's all true.  

i understand.  and i'm trying.  you know, i'm supposed to be the counselor here.  not that we can't share — that's not what i mean.  i just — i used to be such a good, sweet person.  and now i'm catching myself like this she looks down at the snow, ears back and eyes wide like she's horrified by what she's become.

i am supposed to live with him as my alpha.  and i don't know if i can.  but they've accused me of abandoning them once already.  i'm not sure if i can do that, either.
