Sunshine Moments

The whole attitude of their meeting changed with alarming speed. It had been carefree and joyful, even, and now suddenly it grew somber and even a bit bitter. This seemed to be how things always worked with them, though. It always seemed to be intense, no matter what emotions they were experiencing - never in-between. A soft, slightly pained sigh left his lips as she began to speak, sounding nearly as frustrated as he felt. He could always trust her to speak her mind; that was one thing that he was certain of. She'd never been one to hold things back, since the first day he met her. Knowing she wouldn't hide much from him - or so he thought - was refreshing. Lillie was hurt by the disappearance of Starling and his mother, too, though the former seemed to bother him quite a bit more. He knew they'd been friends. His eyes were downcast as he eyed the earth below his paws, his mind swaying slightly as he considered it all at once. He grimaced a bit as the feelings flooded him, though his face was stony now, his brows pulling tight together as he avoided his friend's gaze. "Yep," he'd echo simply, nodding his head slowly - until she started speaking again. She'd.. played a part in Starling's thoughts? What did that mean? His own ears pulled back, though irritation was visible in his stare as he lifted it and fixed it on her. He'd been angry with Starling leaving, too, but to call him an idiot? And she'd bit him? His mouth tightened suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitching in irritation. No matter how mad any of his siblings made him, no matter how much they hurt him, he couldn't imagine possibly attacking them ever. "What?" he'd ask, feeling suddenly numb, though a dull anger had begun to burn somewhere in his chest. "You.. bit him? Is that how you should respond any time something upsets you?" He'd known Lillie was quite volatile; the first time he'd spoken to her, she'd told him that she'd prodded at another wolf until she was moved to strike at her face. She just hadn't imagine Lillie being the one doing the attacking. His limbs quivered, just slightly, as he took a step away from her. She'd said she regretted it, but it didn't change the fact that she had done it. And she knew what she'd done would upset Lark, it seemed, for she looked at him with obvious concern in her eyes. He didn't know what to say, though he felt like he was frozen there, his heart heavy as he realized what Lillie had done. He wouldn't have thought twice if she'd done it to some random wolf, but not Starling.. not his brother. How dare she. "Wow," was all he could muster as he finally watched her, from the corner of his eye, feeling stunned. |
