you could love me if i knew how to lie

Beat offered her a sad thank you as she told him about her offer of a rabbit. She hoped one day the struggle through this difficult time would make him stronger, and this sad skeleton of a wolf would be the proud descendant of those lost. She wasn’t helping that become reality either way, and she whined softly unable to help her step forward before she stopped herself. His words completely unexpected, she couldn’t fathom why he’d ask her to do something like that.

”How could I ever do that, Beat?” Twig asked him, restraining herself from approaching him further. She wanted to offer her comfort, she wanted him to lean on her, she wanted to remove his sorrow and allow him to enjoy his childhood. ”I love you, I can’t just forget you.” She coaked further, wondering what kind of thought process led to pushing away one of the wolves that cared for him.
