"Stay here, Tak. I won't be gone long I promise."
She repeated out loud the words that Zem had spoken, hoping that he'd be back soon. Maybe he'd even bring back something to eat with him? The more she thought about that, the hungrier she found herself getting. A bantha burger, or even Ithorian tacos would've been great. Something to make her tummy stop growling.
Rolling the marble between two fingers, Tak sighed again in the hopes that Zem would walk through the door at any moment. What could possibly take so long?! She couldn't stay in here forever... little Lupines needed food and space and things to do! They needed to play games and run around!
She tossed the marble up into the air, catching it as it came down.
She thought about Dama and Daddy, and what they were doing this very moment. Did they miss her as much as she already missed them? She and Zem had left so suddenly that she'd not even been able to say goodbye to Daddy.
A-ha! That's it!
Sliding from the bed, the little girl set about searching the room for paper and a writing pen. She would write Daddy a letter, and tell him that she was sorry for having to leave so quickly, and that she missed him lots already.
One of the nightstands had a small notepad and stylus in it, and grabbing both, Tak scrambled back onto the bed.
Deer Daddy. Im sory I left without saying
gudby. Dama made me leeve with Zem, and you
wernt there, so Zem and me left. I miss
you a bunch. Wen can we be a family again?
Tell dama I luv her to pleez. Luv, Tak.
