Answer Me (Luns)

So she was here again, the place Esti had begun to call home. It was odd to her how different everything looked in the snow. Her first experience with the stuff had been unpleasant and surprising. She learned that no matter how hard you try, you couldn't bite the fluffs in the air, and if you tried to bite it from the ground, it sent waves of pain up your teeth and directly to your skull. She was still mulling over how this could be a thing. Maybe she'd ask an adult if she cared enough about it later. she couldn't honestly say that she would.
Her breath swirled before her, panting from the run here. She wasn't sure why she came here, or why she went anywhere really. It had been so long since she had seen her family, since anyone said her name, or said anything to her nicely. There was always that little Valhalla pup, but she was annoying. It's not like Esti cared about any of them, so she didn't expect them to really care about her, but a small part of Esti, the tiniest part, felt betrayed by her family and those in Valhalla. Sure they let her eat there, but probably only out of obligation. Esti didn't owe them anything, and she didn't intend to ever see them again once she could hunt properly, which honestly took more time than it was worth when she could go to Valhalla and wait for someone to share or leave something behind.
None of that explained why Esti was here now, though. The trees had always been her friends, shushing her and lulling her to sleep, but now in the snow it seemed as if everything was quiet, frozen in place, afraid to move. It pissed Esti off. Why was everything so quiet? When everything was quiet, her mind got so loud! A growl rumbled in Esti's chest, then a bark, then she was rushing at the trees, pulling on their branches and causing heaps of snow to fall with soft thuds around her, "Why. Don't. You. Say. Somethin'?!" She sprang back from her current tree, "Answer me!"
