Offerings

It was hard to think that her pregnancy was almost over, it didn't seem like so long since she'd been attacked. It was still too easy to recall the morning not so long ago.. Not that she had any kind of wish to. She wanted to completely forget the day, to block all aspects of it from her life. But it had happened and she was carrying his children as a result. She would never be able to forget what happened to her. The moment would haunt her for the rest of her days, she just hoped Themisto would be there to shine a light on her ghosts. Alpine's movement would bring her bak to him, as his words would soon follow. Slate backed ears would swivel to listen as she pulled herself out of the den a bit more, allowing the sun to being its warmth to her aching spine. She would listen as he spoke of gathering her friends, and he would include himself in such a group. Adding on a phrase that would allow her to choose his place. "You seem very selfless, Alpine. I can respect that." she would offer him a genuine smile then, her lips turning up to show the slightest glimmer off her pearly teeth. "But some things are very hard to forget." she would add, addressing his words on life not being so hard. Maybe things would mellow since she joined the pack, still there were her memories that could not be forgotten. She didn't go a day without reliving her mother's death or when she'd been attacked. "Since I was young I've always aspired to be completely self sufficient. Only asking my kin for any kind of help. Since I've been here though it feels like every time I turn around I'm in need of someone else's help. It's been really hard to accept it all..." she felt like she couldn't owe anyone, that she should have been able to take care of herself. She just felt so weak. "I've felt kind of useless since coming here."
