Baited Breath

Okay... um... Ashmedai was seriously a lot more upset about this whole pup thing than Sparrow had expected. She stared dumbly for a moment as he blew up. He spoke of family replacing her. Sure Starling and Harmony were great healers, but... replace her? They wouldn't even want to replace her... would they? Her doubt vanished before long. Of course they wouldn't! Her family loved her! He stared her down, and she found a righteous anger building within her, "Ashmedai, what does that even have to do with these pups? Look! They're tiny! They can't hurt you or replace you! You've got time to keep training anyway! YOU'LL be teaching THEM when they grow up! No one is trying to replace anyone!" Sparrow stammered, her fluffy fur standing on end. What was this guy's problem anyway?
