Firefly had been weeping so and she was tired, she hadn’t even noticed the small boy approaching, Elroy had and had sprung from the snow to stand between the youth and her. When the small voice passed towards her she lifted her head with a jerk and winced, having split one of the wounds upon her shoulder open again. She stared at the blood for a moment before turning her gaze back to the child. Her ears pinned back in confusion but she slowly realized that this was Amaranth’s brother and she sighed, a dull aching in her chest for the children she had lost. ”I’m just sad..” she said softly as she gazed down at her paws. She wasn’t about to explain to the young pup what had happened that had made her sad, she didn’t think he needed a lesson on life and death just yet.
She shifted her frame in the snow, the chill from the soft flakes wasn’t bothering her as much as it should her, it had frozen her wounds shut at least. She glanced down at the cuts and scrapes along her forelegs as she felt fresh tears forming in her eyes. She barely felt the soft pat of Elroy’s paw as he tried to get her attention again. She knew the cat had been watching her since the few pack members who had known what had befallen her had left. She wished that she could just send him along with not worries but she doubted he would go. He had a fierce loyalty she didn’t deserve but she was thankful for it at the least. She didn’t want to be alone just now, even if she’d sent the rest of her pack away.
She let her gaze fall back to the boy as she gazed at him quietly, finally asking. ”Are you suppose to be out wandering so far from home..” She knew that Ayita didn’t like the pups gone too far from Vigilante’s cabin but it seemed she could do little to keep them in line. She felt the tiniest waver of a smile at the corner of her lips at the thought. They were going to be a handful within the next few moons, she could see it already.
