[color=00a651]"Well, sure. It's a lineage, so you learn the family trade from the time you can understand it. It's good work too, but well, not exactly the most lucrative you know? It takes a long time to reach a real quality breeding stock and then raise a litter.

We've had a lot of mouths to feed lately, human and otherwise, so three years ago I started working at the library as a bookbinder. It payed slightly better, and I've kept up work with the dogs as well. Between that and this trip though, I guess by now I'm a Garun who's not really a breeder anymore. I know I've got siblings who will continue on the lineage in Enn but... I'm not part of it anymore."[/color]

The admission hurt. That wasn't all there was too it of course, and that was what hurt. There had been other Garuns who had walked away from dogs, but she had walked away from her whole family, and she hadn't even said goodbye. There had been not explanatory note, no 'I love you', no tight and anxious hugs. Just defiance, yelling, an empty bed in the morning, and stolen supplies.

Andica knew that she was right to feel ashamed. They hadn't deserved that, any of it. But here she was, gone from Enn and still running away. Running from guilt as well, now that she thought of it. It left a bitter taste in her mouth.

She wiped the beginning of a tear from her eye and kept walking, slightly faster now as she willfully calmed her breathing. They were approaching some kind of ruined building. She tried to focus on her surroundings, but couldn't help noticing as Kavinika sped away to sniff at some rabbit hole. She thought about calling him back, but let the dog wander a little.
