(Accepted, of course.)

EDIT

(And now that Summer is gone we have one open slot.)

"No Sandra," Abi said calmly. "Not until you act right again. We're all angry right now, and there's a lot of tension. But you need to relax." Abi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, bracing for an attack. "You so desperately want a motherly, one-of-a-kind connection with Story," she began calmly again, "and this isn't how you're going to achieve that. You have to stop this." She sidestepped quietly, remembering Sandra's blindness. If she went all psyco then hopefully she'd miss.

Sandra was prepared to strike but held herself back. Held herself back because of what Abi was saying caught her attention. Sandra didn't respond, she had nothing she could say. As much as Abi was right she refused to admit it. Refused to admit this dog who had just threatened to kill her was making sense. Sandra had done something wrong, she acknowledged that but also knew that confronting Story when she was this upset would do nothing.

Abi smiled. It seemed she may have won. With a sigh of relief, she sat down next to Sandra. Her tail swished lightly as she still smiled, looking around at the jungle edge. An awkward silence grew, so she decided to try small talk. "So where exactly are ya from?" Abi asked innocently, with a playful tone added on. She wanted to try and calm Sandra down now so they could go back to Story and Punk.

[Ourpawprints]

Sandra hesitated for a moment then replied. "Nothing special really. Pet at, owner died when I was no more then a pup and I'm a stray. Learned to survive. Caught by the shelter, boat crashes and here I am." She explained, purposely leaving out the part about Lady. Sandra didn't want to talk about her deceased friend, it'd be too painful.

[Apocalyptic_Punk]

(awesome and I promise to be fair.)

Punk led the pup into the jungle. He could tell Story was upset still but was never one for conferring. He had never been conferred but he tried his best. He looked over his shoulder and grinned. "you call that stalking?" He asked grinning more when the pup looked confused. "a wildebeest wood be quite then you."

Story furrowed her brow as she worried about mommy Daddy words she started to concentration trying to be quite as she followed punk.

"Why?" Sandra asked, a hint of a growl filling her voice. She didn't trust Abi, her trust for the fae had all faded. Well, at this point Sandra didn't trust anybody. But Abi and Punk especially.

Abi nodded her head, listening to the short summary of Sandra's life. When she asked why, Abi shrugged. "I dunno. Why not?" she asked thoughtfully. She hummed for a moment looked around. "Where did you grow up? I mean did you live in the 'States or Australia or Antarctica what? Maybe out in the Savanna with you cat brethren?" she asked, racking her brain for more questions.

"South Western Australia. There were some open grasslands but it was mostly semi-tropical forests. Lived in a barn when I was no more then a pup and then a forest. Forced to learn to survive for myself, if I didn't know how to survive I would be dead. And I was a curious little pup, watching cats, birds, lizards and picking up traits from them. Because I didn't have a parent figure to learn from so I learned from whomever I could, no matter the species." Sandra replied.

"Sure there was another dog in the forest but..." her voice grew quiet. "I couldn't learn to survive from her." Sandra was referring to her elderly, Lady. She was disabled, couldn't walk. Sandra had to take care of herself and Lady, had to learn as fast as she could or else both her and Lady would die. But she had failed to save Lady when the shelter took them, she had failed her.

Sandra felt tears rolling down her eyes. Abi would have no way to know what was upsetting her, but she cried. Sandra missed her teacher, her elder and her friend.

Sandra sure did like to talk about her hunting. Abi took in every word she spoke, smiling at the terrier as she spoke. How confident she was, and Abi enjoyed sharing a sense of pride. Suddenly Sandra started to cry. Abi didn't know what to say, so she only watched with sad eyes as she wept. After a few minutes, she decided to speak. "Sandra, it's okay," Abi said quietly. "I'm sure it wasn't your fault. if there was something you could have done, you of all people would have..."
