Here's The Thing

It took Peregrine a minute to gather her thoughts and decide how to respond, and for once in her life Ricochet was patient. She knew that she had just dumped a whole lot of crap on her friend, as if she didn't have enough to deal with right now. She had to admit that she felt a little guilty about that, but she had no other choice. "Yeah, I understand," was her response when Peregrine said she wasn't close to her family. She didn't expect her to totally get it, she just wanted a small piece of advice. Honestly anything would have worked at this point. But Peregrine was unbiased and understanding, which ironically was the opposite of what Ricochet needed her to be. She wanted to be told to get off her ass and take care of her brother, or something. Literally anything. But Peregrine simply promised to support her.
But then she said that Mortar would be welcome to join the pack if she did choose to stay, and Ricochet felt the weight on her shoulders lift a tiny bit. "What? Really?" She looked back down at the water and furrowed her brow a little in thought. But this time it felt like there wasn't as much to think about. The solution could be right there in front of her, as long as Mortar was willing to join this new pack. "My brother should be nearby," she said slowly. "Do you think maybe I could call for him, and get this all figured out? My head hurts from trying to sort this shit out," she admitted with a chuckle. She just wanted it over with, so she could go back to being a carefree little asshole again. |
