A Family Of Trees Wanted To Be Haunted
Tsunami had made it a habit to leave the den early in the morning before most of the runts got up. The girl was still conflicted about how she felt about the younger kids. She didn't hold back in her distaste for her father's new woman, not that she was particularly attached to her own mother anymore, after all, she'd hardly cared about them in Abaven and had taken them away from their father, but she resented that she'd occupied so much of her father's time and attention. But the pups couldn't help who their mother was, but they also often monopolized their father's attention however they were also a product of that period in time when they'd been kept from their father... and she couldn't help resenting them, wondering if they were there to replace herself and her siblings. That feeling was only exacerbated by Thythe's disappearance, leaving her feeling like part of her family would never be whole again... not that it would ever be possible with who her mother was. Still her father had come back for them, had brought them to a new place with them, instead of simply leaving them in Abaven when he easily could have and Tsunami deeply longed to reconnect with her father. So when she heard her father's voice beckoning his children the girl couldn't help but grin. She slipped out from a tree near their den, watching with narrowed eyes as one of the little kids bumped into her father's side. Tsunami suppressed a grown and dropped into the best stealth crouch she could manage. Sliding forwards the girl kept her gaze on her father's back, watching for signs he could see her. Then, without so much as a peep, the child launched herself at Tyranis, front paws outstretched and while she wasn't exactly aiming at her younger sister she wasn't going to be too torn up about catching the girl in the crossfire either.
