She was sitting in the stables, trying to figure out what she was doing. She knew what she wanted to make, but she didn’t know what she was doing in how she was making it… this was her third fail, and it was frustrating her. She wanted to scream, she threw the strap of leather she’d been holding on the floor and growled with frustration. She was no good at making things. She took care of the animals, and now she felt useless. She was trying to make a surprise for Nayati, a kind of present, but she was having such a hard time trying to make it… She’d seen him use his bow, and saw that it must have hurt when he released it, and she’d seen pictures where humans had something on their arms that protected them… but how ever much she tried to get it so that it was like them, she couldn’t, she had little to no skill with leather, and she didn’t even know how to cure it… why couldn’t she have been good at something with her hands? She sighed, covering her face with her hands feeling increasingly useless. In her head she pictured her presenting him with a fine gift, something he’d love and could use… but now all she could see is her trying to give him something that wasn’t even good enough for the wolf. She picked up the piece of leather, doubting it could be saved for what she wanted it for, wondering how something that looked so simple could be so hard to make. She had it all planned out too, she didn’t know when his birthday was neither did she know when the next celebration was but she wanted to be ready at least, and she knew he could use an arm guard for when he went hunting. She sighed and propped her elbows on her knees and put her head in her hands, trying to think of what she did wrong.
Ouray sidled up to her, looking pretty annoyed himself, but Liliana could tell that it wasn’t because of her work, it was because of her, she waited for his talk and soon his threat to use his quills againster her. Sure enough it came You’re being too hard on yourself, relax, you can ask for help
Yeah I know… I just wanted to do it on my own.
Came her reply if anyone were in there and didn’t know about spirit guides they’d think she’d gone crazy and was talking to herself. Even though she had agreed with the porcupine spirit she didn’t move, though her thoughts were turning over members of the pack that she could talk to about it. She didn’t know anyone who did any sort of leather working, only Nayati and he was the one she wanted to surprise… who was there? She thought about Theo, but he was a weaver, not a tanner, and she hadn’t seen the wolf in a while… so who was there?
