Swiftcurrent Creek No one Dared, Disturb the sound of silence

She nods, a twitch to the blackened corners of her mouth. Perhaps there was no use dwelling on it; she wasn't there, she didn't know them. She wouldn't have known what was happening. But regardless, the guilt is heavy in her gut.
I don't know, she shuffles, ears twitching as they settle at the sides of her head. I don't think I understand how someone could look at me and think, 'yeah, that's a person worth loving', y'know? a self-deprecating laugh follows, one that is pitifully weak. And aside from that... I'm, y'know, committed. To Swiftcurrent. And I don't think I want to spend my life balancing my duties here and chasing him. I don't think he wants to be in a pack, let alone this one, she shrinks, shoulders bunched and head between them, chin pressed close to her chest. and I wanna... keep my options open, if you get what I mean.
