Finch worked diligently, but it was obvious this kind of brute labor wasn't her forte. She had smaller, more deft paws that were meant to pack wounds and tend to the sick, not excavate massive amounts of soil. In fact, she found herself very much resenting being in this position. Resent was an entire new emotion for Finch. It made her feel hot, prickly, and all together uncomfortable - at least, that's what that feeling had to be, she reasoned. Resentment. A strange flash of warmth jettisoned down her spine and landed low in her stomach whenever Calliope brushed by her as they worked. Resentment. Unlike the pastel raider princess, Finch had never known any romantic touch from another wolf. She wouldn't recognize a crush if it came right up to her, bopped her on the nose, and force claimed her. A hot blush splashed across her face as Calliope teased her. Yes, yes she would like to know! That's why she asked! Finch almost made some sort of indignant remark, then she remembered the flash of the bigger girl's teeth right at her eye level and swallowed the words whole with an audible gulp. "Raider, huh? My auntie Theory has a cousin over there," Finch said, continuing to dig around the perimeter of the pit and move dirt around as she went to clear more space. "Sparrow is her name. Another bird. It's a family thing." Would name dropping win her anything? Freedom? A break from feeling like she was on fire? Maybe if she stayed near Calliope long enough, she'd simply burst straight into flames. |
