burning bridges

As the hulking beast moved closer Banshee could have trembled, but she did not. The young Wolfess had already been through quite a lot in her short life but confronting Sirius was one of the more nerve wracking moments. Her baby blue eyes took in his own as she stood. He was so much taller then her but it was true that she had grown tall. Taller then either of her parents and most of her relatives other then cousins. The size difference was still enough to cause her to tilt her head upward to look at him in the eyes. Which is what she did as he spoke her name. Banshee swallowed as she offered him a small nod, her eyes full of emotion despite her stone like expressions. It was evident he would be able to see through the limited defenses she was attempting to build.

After only a moment the yearling swallowed her nerves and spoke up. "I believe it is best I put distance between myself and Ashen." A pause. "I have felt lost since my father coming back..." Banshee wrinkled her nose slightly in response to bringing up Hannibal. "Everything horrible that has happened lives here in the south. I'd like to leave and experience the world without the shadow of my family following." She sucked in a breath, "You.. have always been there for me Sirius and.. I-I really don't want you to feel as though my desire to leave has to do with you at all."
