If I Smile, Promise Not To Get Upset?

The young girl would lower her ears as her father let out a shaky breath, starting to speak. She would lower her gaze, head sinking down. She didn?t want to think of that... She had been so caught up on everything being okay that she didn?t think about what might have happened to her. She would be pressed down, held in place by her father?s paw. Slowly she would look up at him, listening to him speak.

Foul individuals.... Dangers... Hard things to face... She would frown deeply, shifting slightly on her paws. The world was a bad place and she wasn?t ready for it cause it wasn?t safe like the den. She let out a little sigh as he continued. Her father and mother would let her know when it would be okay to go off on her own... Especially something like this. She would give a wordless nod, lowering her gaze to the ground. ?Yes daddy...? She would say softly. There was no point in trying to justify what she had done... It had scared her father... And Anais too.

She was picked up, her father carrying her first into the water, holding her above the shallows before turning back and heading towards their den. Lior closed her eyes as he carried her. ?I?m sorry...? She would say, though she wasn?t sure if her father would hear her or not.
