She recoils and goes still and quiet at his blatant rejection. But he says nothing of it, and she will not bring it up in reflection of that. Clamping tight to the bond so that her devastation need not burden him any more than she already has. Pretending that if she holds still enough, she can simply disappear into the snow.
Very well, she replies cordially, for lack of any other defense against someone who knows her so well. Rising, she rolls golden shoulders and casts her gaze to the side, to the horizon beyond and the home-that-isn’t-home beyond the trees. We will know in time. Shaking her fur free of any lingering snow she rises, and without further ceremony begins to depart. Until then, she imparts across the bond, and the shift from feline to falcon is easy and swift, rising from the ground so that she may put more distance between them as fast as possible. Escaping this third heartbreak riding on the coattails of those that have already cracked her too wide open.
