Alexey waited patiently for Firefly to speak before acknowledging her young friend. There was no doubt about it; a lot of things had changed. The multi-hued youngster was now higher ranked and obviously bearing puppies. Were they Haku’s? The question was on the tip of her tongue, but she held back. Now wasn’t the time for small talk. From the sound of her voice, Firefly was upset. Why? Lexey couldn’t help but frown as a rather blunt accusation escaped the Acer’s throat. You left me.
This was a reaction she’d normally expect from someone like Adelaida, not the woman standing before her. Firefly was a rebel, she was tough. She wasn’t supposed to get upset over something so trivial. “I did.” Alexey didn’t deny what she’d done. There was no point trying to sweet talk her way out of this. “I’m back now, aren’t I? I came home, just like I promised.” So, what was the problem? “But I can leave again if you don’t want me around anymore.” It was the honest truth.
