I'm Indestructible

Looking to Sirius, Andy offers a gentle smile as he speaks, dipping her head in thanks as he acknowledges that they both fought well. When he instructs her to walk with him, the girl is swift to obey. Together, they exit the den and she walks in comfortable silence alongside her father, waiting for him to speak. When he does, she looks over at him, compassion written plainly into her features as the man talks of Kite and why she cannot be a leader.

For a long moment, the girl is silent, mulling over her father’s words as she thinks over all her interactions with her sibling. Finally, Andy slowly says, “Kite is ambitious, like I am. However, her desire to advance in rank isn’t because she wants to help better the pack but for a more selfish desire.” Pale blue eyes flick back the way they came, worried that her sister might hear what she is saying and never wish to speak with her again.

But her father has asked a question and the girl wishes to talk this through, “She wants to get a higher rank because she feels that she needs to prove herself. Ever since we were little, she has felt less than because of her disability. While I have tried to make her feel accepted and loved no matter what, I feel like she is has been made to feel bad because of her eyes.” With a small sigh she shakes her head, sadness and sympathy crossing her features.

After a brief pauses Andy continues on, “I know what she feels and why she feels it but, to be a good leader, you need to be able and willing to put aside your own ego to approach problems from different angles. Right now, I don’t think Kite would be able do that.” With that she lapses into silence, curious what her father thinks of her assessment.
