Hushed Willows now she's in me and i can't let her go

for @Brilliance

She has tried her hardest not to impose on Delight's children.  She gives them space, she ignores them.  Other than come to a pack meeting, she's never asked them to do anything.  She wants to love them, and it almost physically pains her that she cannot dote upon them, especially in the absence of her own daughter.  Although she'd never give the thought a voice, she often wondered why it had to be sweet Ibis, and not the young man with the terrible attitude.  Every time the thought comes to her she's horrified with herself — but can she admit that she doesn't want that, on some level?

So she tries not to think about it.  She dotes upon her son, her wife, their children.  She avoids Delight, more or less, too.  She doesn't know how to handle it.  And this morning, she accidentally finds herself in the corner of the territory where her friend's children have been camping out.  She had wanted to explore it because she hadn't even really been out this way yet, but she realized her mistake as soon as she smelled their presence.  

Seabreeze made an attempt to swiftly leave this place, hopefully before she was found.
