Just like old times

Ig shifted, and Sephira wondered if it meant he was finally conscious. It made no difference to her, except that he interrupted her. "Stop calling me that, Seph." Rude. Well, not that he had had obviously woken up on the wrong side of the den, but just that he hadn't let her finish. She didn't even know where she was going with it, and now she'd probably forget forever! He was obviously groggy, so she'd humor him. "Uhm, just now, duh? You are not an easy guy to find. You'd think glowing, scarlet, and massive would draw more attention around here, but noooo. Have you seen how boring and puny some of the wolves are here? I swear, you'd hardly know they were there unless- Ouch!"

Her brother nipped her ear, surprising her enough to get a word in edgewise. "It's weird to think this was here all along..." Seph huffed. She hadn't really thought that far into it. It was definitely weird, but the idea that they might have been able to come here before they were forced made her snout crinkle. That she had been wasting years of her life being unnecessarily miserable when she had unknown options rankled her. "Yeah, and now it's our secret. Well... us and I'm sure loads of other wolves too, but I guess they've kept it pretty well so far. I mean, who wouldn't want to live here? Those assholes back home don't deserve to know about this place. You're not going back, are you?"

She had just arrived. If Ig made her turn around and leave this veritable Eden behind she would tie his tail around a tree until saw sense again. This place was awesome so far. She'd seen a herd of deer on her first day that numbered perhaps thirty strong. She had never seen anything like it before. Part of her did want some of their other siblings to find them, but the idea of going back and risking their lives a second time did not appeal to her at all.
