Never Let It Go

The den had been very quiet today with Balthier being gone to the tournament, though the den was pretty much always quiet. Sometimes her father or Balthier would stop by and check on her, but as she had more good days than bad she slowly became more and more aware of that silence until it just started to drive her crazy. She hadn't even seen their father since early this morning and really she hadn't seen a whole lot of him ever since he came back from trying to bring their mother home. She tried to ignore it for the most part, but between the silence and her father seeming to avoid her all of the sudden... It made her worry that she had done something wrong or perhaps her father was finally giving up on her and her never ending illness.
Her worry and her loneness finally pushed her to her paws and she carefully made her way out of the den on slightly unsteady paws. She felt good today, but even still her legs were weak from a lack of use and her body was still thin and frail from the many, many months of sickness. She got as far as a thick patch of grass outside of the den's entrance before she settled back down onto her stomach with a sigh. She lifted her bright blue eyes up toward the equally blue sky as the breeze ruffled her fur and she blinked, realizing that this was the first time that she had been out of the den fully on her own volition. Her father would help her come out occasionally, but this was really the first time that she had walked out of the den just on her own from her own decision to do so - and actually being able to do it.
A smile pulled across her features as she took in the warm sun for a moment before she heard paws coming toward her and she lowered her eyes from the sky till they landed on her brother's approaching black and gold form. Her smile widened and her tail brushed through the grass behind her as he approached her and pressed his forehead gently to hers, making her chest swell with content happiness. He always had a way of chasing away any worries that lingered on her mind like sun poking through the clouds. She nodded in agreement to his statement about her feeling better. She wanted to feel better for him. She didn't like worrying him all the time. "How was the tournament? Was it fun?"
