She heard the sound of paws on pebbles, and her head tilted in the direction of the sound. She knew she had the right wolf when Andy’s voice came out from somewhere on her right.

“Well… there is something. But that's not the point.” She said, raising her chin slightly in a familiar, stubborn tilt. Lioness touched her paw, telling Kite the sun was far enough behind the mountains now. She pushed her bandana back and found the bright form of her sister. “Okay, so… let's say I wanted to tell you something. Do you swear not to tell anyone?”
