Still getting over this teenage angst

After the sudden return of her sire from out of the blue and the confrontation she'd had with her father, Satira just felt... confused. Feelings of doubt and worry clouded what would otherwise have been a happy and exciting moment. But the little wolf-dog girl had been burned by her father's abandonment too many times to safely let down the walls around her heart. She didn't like feeling like a cynical, suspicious person, but she also didn't know how else she was supposed to protect herself from getting hurt by the ones closest to her again. It was an awful catch-22 that she didn't see any way out of. Gods, life really sucked sometimes.

When Mojito left to go get settled in to Valta, Tira had wandered off on her own, not really sure where she was ambling to. She didn't want to go back home right away and have Ciná trying to interrogate her about what just happened, so she avoided her den in the falls for now. Instead, the young fae walked the edges of the rapids, following the serpentine rivers as they cut their way through pack lands. Heavy thoughts plagued her. She didn't like her mind right now, stacking up problems that she didn't want to have to face. With no plan in her mind, Tira's speckled paws eventually led her all the way back to her mother and uncle's den. Asla had always been a rock for her to use as her foundation and she owed much of who she was to how her mother raised her. Even if she didn't have the answers for her problems, at least maybe she could be another set of ears for her to vent to.

Approaching the den cautiously, Tira kept her ears open for the sounds of her mother and uncle within, not wanting to interrupt them if they were otherwise indisposed with one another. Not hearing anything lascivious from inside, Tira gave a soft bark inside to see if her mother was around, then stepped back and flopped onto her haunches on the soft grass while she waited to find out if Asla was home. If not, she might just go back home and pray Ciná wasn't there at the moment.
