you could love me if i knew how to lie

She’d done something wrong, she could see it in his features as he crumpled and started to cry. Her ears fell back and she retreated a step, but it was too little too late. ”Beat…” She tried to keep his attention but he was gone, the boy turned and raced away from her. A heavy sigh left her lips as she accepted her failure. Delicate paws drew her after the boy, but she was too late to keep him from tumbling down the ravine. She gasped in surprise and raced forward, heart beating like made as she made her way to his body. She didn’t get too close, enough that she could see that he wasn’t physically hurt.

”It’s going to be okay,” she offered quietly. Twig wanted so bad to curl around him and prove that everything would be alright one day. There would be joy again and he needed to live for their memory. They weren’t here, but he was. He could accomplish so much in his future, but she worried he wouldn’t overcome this. ”I love you,” she called as she turned away, completely at a loss. ”Eat when you get back to the den, I’ll have someone leave you some herbs too. They’ll make you feel better and help you sleep.” She promised, regretting her inability to comfort him. This wasn’t a problem she could easily fix on her own. Maybe she would go to Theory or Corvus for help.

She offered him one more sympathetic glance and turned to give him his solitude. She didn’t believe he was cursed, but she respected that he needed his space. He wouldnt get through this alone, but she didn’t know how to begin helping him.

-exit twig unless stopped?-
