ACE
She could do that advocate thing her mom did. She could do that, and that was something that she could handle. Ace was starting to figure out what her brain was doing, what it was trying to find. She was finding something that could… work. She could figure out what she wanted, and that was the thing about it all… the great thing about it all. Bright eyes, glimmering in the low light of the day. Everything was a little darker today, save for the snow. The snow was bright. The snow was bright and the nearly yearling pup managed to bound through it.
Bouncing and brilliant, she couldn’t help it. Something in the girl’s head was brilliant and shining. Ace needed to meet someone. She needed to meet someone that would bring her head somewhere better. She needed to meet someone, she needed to… to make a connection. Ace found herself strangely lonely for a little kid. She had Delya, but Delya wasn’t… cool. It wasn’t cool to have a cousin that was supposed to be your sister. She didn’t really want a girly little sister, even if she was just a couple weeks younger. Alice hadn’t really said much about the girl, just to be nice to her.
So she was nice to the girl, but things were strained. Ace felt much more mature than the soft, fluffy thing. She wouldn’t really work for or against the thing, just… parallel play. It would be a careful separation, and that was alright. A strained sort of nice, the kind you reserve for the family members… cousins. Right. Cousins. Ace felt that in Delya. Softly the puppy made her way to the edge of the river, staring in at the big fish as they shimmered beneath the surface. Flickering eyes, bright surface, and snow. Such was her world today.
