[private] where you gonna run to?

[Mazikeen]

Mazikeen isn’t left on her own for long, and seeing Breach eases away some of the anger and brings forth other emotions. She’s glad to see her friend (especially to see her unharmed) and dreading this conversation all at once. “Hey Breach.” Tears threaten but Mazikeen masters them this time. For her beloved friend and her alpha, she will not fall apart. She doesn’t delay in jumping right to the point. Her normal confidence is missing but stubbornness holds her head high when it wants to droop. “I went to the mountain. I… I was so tired of failing you - failing our home. First in the alliance and then when you were stolen…” Her orange eyes are steady on Breach’s face, her two-toned eyes, watching to see if the disgust Mazikeen feels over these failings is reflected there. It hadn’t occurred to her to actually check to see if Breach despised her, and even now that she should have doesn’t cross her mind. It had felt like a solid truth - unable to be disputed. “I got a quest, and I’m going to be stronger. Better.” The certainty in her voice waivers and the temptation to look away rises, closing her throat. She doesn’t, though. She won’t. The next words are quiet, hollow and she’s ashamed of them even though she believes she needs this quest. “But they took my shifting until I can complete it.” She cannot actually bring herself to form the question on her mind - though she’s sure it hangs in the air like something they can physically see. Why is she standing on the border? Because she’s not sure if she’s welcome here anymore.
