Miyuki had originally signaled Meriweather to keep watch over Kukiko, but Meriweather was just so adorable that her presence distracted Miyuki. Miyuki was just so happy in love with her fam. Being in Meriweather's presence was like a balm for Miyuki's soul. Miyuki hadn't yet realized how heavy her burdens had weighed down on her. After playing in the snow with Meriweather, Miyuki felt refreshed and incandescently happy. After some time she looked up at the sky and realized that she had been playing hide and seek with Meriweather for several hours. Miyuki knew that Meriweather had thoroughly distracted her, but she had so much fun playing the last few hours that she didn't care. She should probably go to check on her eldest sister, but frankly Miyuki felt it would be best for both of them to have some space away from each other. Kukiko needed to plan and prepare for the upcoming trip and Miyuki needed to just enjoy the rest of the day. It was a beautiful day and she felt like her soul needed to stay refreshed and free from the emotional burdens of her sisters for a few hours. She was the herds healer and frankly their were times when she became weary of the job. Most of the time tt was much easier to heal physical aliments then emotional pain. Since all of the herd had gone through traumatic experiences, they carried their sorrow with them contently. Miyuki had her own pain, but she wanted to try her best to help her sister slowly heal and grow through their emotional hurts. Some injuries would never heal, but Miyuki wished for her sister to have more happy memories then sad. Since Miyuki had yet to find a mate and she had not yet mothered foals, her happiness lay in pampering her feisty fox fam Meriweather. Of course if Miyuki ever made that special connection with another female she would still pamper and spoil Meriweather it's just she would be blessed to have multiple special entities to look after. Miyuki had never been in a romantic relationship because she always put her duty as a healer first. However Miyuki was gradually coming to an age that she desired both foals and having a special connection to a mate. Miyuki admitted to herself that she was lonely and she wanted a companion. Even her fam Meriweather had more luck then she had in romance . Miyuki wouldn't begrudge her fam and wished her and her partner the best of luck. Since neither of her sisters or her cousin had any offspring her longing for companionship and for foals was abated somewhat. All the herd members were still mourning because of past events and they lacked the energy to go look for mates. Though Miyuki had heard several of her family members plot to have quick romances with the goal of having offspring. They were raised in a herd that valued foals and all the foals were communally raised. It was not uncommon for herd members to bring in mates, but must soq tended to have flings with outsiders to have foals. -words 523-

Kaneq was realizing his thoughts were heading in a morbid direction. It was so easy for his thoughts to go in a dark and dismal direction. For so long he had lived his life under a dark shadow and it was easy for him to become wrapped back up in the shadows tentacles. Depression was just a never ending battle for him, but at least now he was able to realize and recognize that it was his depression causing him to have such dark thoughts. Of course another part of his brain was telling him, "Fool it's not your depression acting up it's your survival instincts! Kukiko's not to be trusted didn't you learn last time when she trussed you up like a chicken. She could have eaten you then and you would have had no chance. It's survival of the fittest, and you my boy need to be smarter. Protect your precious wings from that she demon."
Kaneq hung his head low and tried to sort through his racing thoughts. He also didn't want Xue Fang to read his troubles through his eyes. Kaneq greatly admired his herd leader and he didn't want Xue Fang to think less of him. Xue Fang was so strong that Kaneq doubted the male would think much of weakness. However Miyuki had told Kaneq that Xue Fang had become like a wild beast after the attack on the herd. It was said for a month he stalked the fire herd and bathed the mountain of their birth in blood. The fire herd called him the, "Ghost." Miyuki told be that will Xue Fang looked strong he had person demons that he fought with. He seldom showed his emotions because he had been trained as a soldier, but inside sadness and anger still kept a tight hold on his heart. Xue Fang seldom spoke to Miyuki or the other herd members about the past, but then few of the herd members that experienced the attack talked about their losses. They had all lost family members, teachers, comrades, friends and a few of them lovers.The sisters and their cousin were there for each other but seldom did they pry into each other past for fear of disturbing old wounds. Miyuki as herd healer did try her best to help her family heal their emotional wounds , but she also had her own painful memories. Some of those memories she had shared with Kaneq because he had not been a part of their herd during the attack and she could talk about the past with him. When she talked of the past he would have no memories or connections to those herd members that died. Kaneq felt that he was contributing to the herd by listening to Miyuki. She shouldered so much responsibility that he was glad that he was able to comfort her . -words 477-
