Wraith jumped when she heard a coyote speak. When did she get there?! Wraith whirled around, wondering if it was the Mean Lady she met the last time she had tried to come here. Although this lady looked a bit like Mean Lady, they were obviously different. To Wraith, all the coyotes here kind of looked the same, so she couldn’t really tell the difference. However, this lady was not quite as big or scary. Wraith was set a bit at ease, but still remembering the big scary coyote, she retreated a step.
Of course, when the lady asked her how it tasted, she had to reply with a boisterous, “yuck!” Wraith had never eaten a plant like this before. Sometimes she really wanted to eat grass -- and didn’t know why -- but other than that, she didn’t really like eating green things.
When the lady mentioned Aeron, Wraith visibly brightened. She replied with a big grin and a nod before she remembered her mommy had left. Her ears drooped and then she shook her head.
"Yeah, buh naw anymawre," she explained. "Now I daddy girl. He Hi-beed. An’ live with sis Val and big sis Tal. An’ brudder Nat and sisser Loocee an’ Tal babies Sir, Prees, and Urr," she explained, proudly remembering every single name. She still couldn’t say Vermilion, but neither could Vermilion, so that was okay.
