The woman seemed as wise as Cai had suggested, a soft smile finding her features when the woman asked her what she wanted, a question she had not had asked to her in quite some time… or ever, now that she thought about it. “I… I don’t know…” She trailed off, letting a pensive look cross her features as she truly considered what her answer would be. She’d been raised to rule, never follow. “My problem is… complicated.” She didn’t know how to properly form the words, explain her story in a way that didn’t make her seem entirely pathetic or weak. She had to keep reminding herself that she wasn’t an heir apparent anymore; she wasn’t ruling over her tribe as she was supposed to, and for all intents and purposes her family was gone as well.

“I want my birthright… but it was taken from me, and there’s no way for me to get it back.” She explained, her paws glancing at the ground as Carlys offered a soft peck into her shoulder, an attempt at a comfort before she glided over onto the ground. “I was… my parents ran my tribe… but there was a coup, and now they’re dead… I think my siblings might be too.” They had all run in different directions, and she wasn’t sure if the others had been hunted down like she felt she was. “I think they’re still chasing me, and it’s exhausting. I don’t want to keep running.” Her voice cracked as she fought for control over her own mind.
