Good Days Start Like This

Vi didn?t miss the scare she gave Rohini as the red woman would plunk herself down near her old companion. Could she even call the girl that? They had met twice, once when Vi had challenged for her pack and again after Vi had been maimed. The girl had been so sweet despite their rocky start it was hard to forget her. Rohini would speak, greeting her easily and asking if Vi wanted to join her and share in her meal. The red woman would grin but shake her head, in an easy decline. ?You couldn?t get rid of me if you wanted to. But I am good on the seagull thank you, bird has always had an odd aftertaste to me. Maybe the high altitudes?? She mused, head tipping as if she was arguing with herself. She looked back down to notice Rohini plucking the bird and placing the feathers in a delicate pile much like the pile Rohini had made for her the first time they had met.

Easily she would lower her forequarters to the ground so her maimed elbow would rest on the pile that Rohini offered her. Okay that was nice especially with the sand below. Rohini would speak again and Vi would lift her head to look at the girl, realizing what she was saying and smiling softly. ?Sweetie! It was the least I could do after all I did to you. I never wanted you to be homeless?? She would exclaim, reaching out with one paw in an attempt to touch Rohini?s toes. ?I?m sorry? I wanted you to have a home with me, I felt like I owed as much to you but my wife and I? We wanted to start a family and didn?t think that with everything that happened a pack would have been a safe place?? She paused, trailing off and sighing as neck arched in an attempt to look at her own shoulder. She still hadn?t seen how back the scaring was. ?How have you been? How is Cru and the pack?? She would ask. How long had she been on that island?
