Can't Say You Won't {MEETING}

As Sparrow entered, the adorable Merlin bounced up to her.

"Sparrow! You're back! Where've you been? Did you do anything interesting? Was it fun? Can I come with you next time?"

Sparrow laughed, "I've been... around." She wasn't lying. She didn't know how to describe everywhere she'd been.

"I did a lot of interesting things, and it was very fun," she continued, thinking about her adventures. She thought it had to be a lot better than sitting around the pack all day waiting for someone to call a meeting.

"Next time? You can come if Dad says you can." Sparrow nudged her brother, glancing towards her father. She sent a mental apology to him for setting Merlin on him later.

The meeting wasn't so terrible, but Sparrow had no real suggestions. She hated how small it was here, or how small it felt, but she loved her family. Ah, she always felt so trapped now. She felt wrong staying in the pack, but she felt wrong leaving too.

Sparrow remained quiet as others spoke up. She noticed Lillianna hadn't been around and hoped the woman had found another play-thing to torment. The small girl didn't really have anything to say, so she remained seated, hearing the others out.
