Twisted Slough And heart to heart you'll win, if you survive

Fennec wasn't normally a pessimist.  Before this past fall, she would have backed her mom's words one hundred percent and taken them completely to heart.  But I didn't figure it out last time, she argued.  Nothing has changed.  What if I don't?  And what if no one found me next time?  If there was a trick to always knowing her way home no matter what, she hadn't found it.  She couldn't memorize the wilds like she could the copse.

Wraen said it was a coyote, Fennec added.  I was fighting it and she helped.  Shw'd nearly taken a chunk out of the leader too, but she didn't mention that.
