My Heart

That Motif was willing to lie so readily to him about her sisters involvement was both endearing and alarming. Alarming in that she was so serious about telling the lie, but endearing in that she would allow herself such discomfort to protect her sister. He narrowed his gaze but didn’t press any further, he might still have a word with Poem, and Shaye for that matter. She would want an update on the lesson anyway.

Motif did her best to replicate the instructions he gave her and me smiled down at her. She also promised to try and stay away from honey badgers. It was probably the best he was going to get. These girls were going to be the death of him one way or another.

”Alright, well I’ll take that.” He mused gently as he moved forward to nuzzle her affectionately behind the ear. ”Come on, we’ll go see if your mom and Poem have had a bite to eat yet.” He nudged her gently in the direction of Shaye’s den.
