>>43364952>>43365010You ask White Fell to come back in. She's been dutifully tuning out whatever you were sharing with Winnie.
"White Fell, I understand you took something from Winnie?"
White Fell stares at Winnie. "H-he knows about that?"
"Anon is punishing you Fell. You have to look at him, right?"
White Fell snaps her gaze dutifully back to you.
"...You know what it means, don't you? You know what it means to take a wolf's tail..."
She hugs her tail to herself with both hands, the fluff tip brushing her face. She holds it as if it were her only friend in the world. Faintly you can see her lower lip trembling.
"I...I thought sense Winnie didn't...I mean when I was at her mercy she didn't..."
She gulps, and realizes begging to change what she thinks you're going to do to her is dishonorable and stops speaking.
She bows her head and waits for you to say something.
"Why did you take Winnie's tail?" You ask.
"Humans don't focus on shaming when we punish each other. We try to make the offender reflect on her actions."
She pets her tail up and down. "I told you. I wanted to hurt her. Because when they knew she liked humans so much that she would love one they hated me for losing land to her, and smashed my idols, and cast me out until I shamed her like she shamed me...and because I wanted to hurt her personally, because I knew they would never forgive my shame, only excuse it. And that no matter what I did to Winnie in front of her friends and family they would forgive her the shame..."
"You were in pain, and you wanted to share it." Winnie says.
White Fell nods.
She stares up at you, a faint hope in her eyes. "I don't expect you to have mercy and...not do what I fear you'll do." She grips her tail tighter.
"But I will be forgiven, yes? Truly forgiven?"
A tear winds its way down her furry cheek.
WHAT DO YOU TELL HER?
