The girl ignored how wounded her sister's words sounded, not out of cruelty, but because she had to.  Boneset had grown rather adept at ignoring the way really bad things made her feel, but that didn't mean that those feelings didn't still exist somewhere deep within her.  They'd dwell there for some time until too many of them piled up and it manifested into the physical world like some sort of catastrophic bomb of anger, and hate, and hurt.  It wasn't something the young child was particularly proud of, but it's what allowed her to carry on, and she had to carry on.

"Oh."  is all the young girl offered in return as she made her way to the tree in question.  "Turkey come on, we're leavin'. " and just like that, the now malnourished ball of red fur flopped off of it's branch and onto Bones' back.  "Heh, you were right."  the poor squirrel was blatantly much closer to death than the two pups had been, guess this place wasn't fit for them either.

"We'll go the way we came.  Saw lotsa water n' food n' stuff that way."  She started a slow walk in the direction she'd motioned to just moments ago, keeping eyes on Ducky to make sure the girl followed.   She was pretty sure it was the right way.
