Changes in the Tide

Vail knew her father wasn't going well, she spent most of her time next to him, she didn't have the heart to do much else and it had been a relief when her mother had allowed her back into the den. From the point where she'd been thrown out to allowed back Shai had deteriorated incredibly. She had gone out to get a breath of fresh air, as well as an attempt at catching something for her father to eat. Surely if she brought him something he'd be able to eat it, right?

The attempt was cut short by the sound of her sister's voice calling for her and Bass. There was an urgency to the call but not the sadness she would have expected if something had happened to their father while she was not within the den. Her pretty pink paws would take her back to the hole in the ground. Thankfully it was a large den, but even with her small size she had a little trouble finding a place as she slipped in. She'd squeeze between her big sister and their ailing father, offering her affections to him as soon as she got comfortable. "What's going on?" She'd say worriedly.
