singing that old song

Gossamer shifted nervously on her paws. She'd probably rehearsed the words a hundred times in her head but now that the moment was coming to actually say them she wasn't sure if she could manage to get them out. It was like all the careful sentences were suddenly leaking right out of her ears.

Gossamer nodded as Wren gave her the floor and she stepped forward. "Father, I've thought long and hard on this and I'd like to step out on my own. I wish to leave the Armada and join Menagerie. Briar has made a home for herself in the Hallows, Kotori is stepping out to pack is own pack. I think it would be good for me to see what I can do as a regular pack member, not the daughter of an alpha. I hope that makes sense." It wasn't the practiced speech she'd hoped to give but it was from the heart.
