Why her grandmum had to be taken from her and Hearthwood before she'd even had the chance to know her like her mum did. Oksana didn't think it was fair and if her grandmum hadn't been taken from them then Inna wouldn't be so sad. The pup shook her head at the words Lilya spoke to her, “They have grandfather so grandmum could stay.” From what her mother had said and Lilya the smudge understood that her grandfather was in the stars too. That the spirits had already taken him, “Sana not know grandfather.” The alpha woman had said that her grandmother would be with her always but she hadn't understood how. As she spoke once more the pup started to understand a little more. She didn't know all about hearts and such but she knew that there was a place inside her that hurt when she thought about her grandmum. She wondered if this was where Lilya was talking about, she sighed as she looked down at her chest, “Place hurts think of her?” She asked looking back into the womans blue eyes.

Lilya seemed very certain that Inna would get better, she was an adult so Oksana felt she had to listen. Her mother had taught her that adults knew a lot so this had to be one of those things she just had to trust. She nodded that she understood, “Can Sana help her?” She asked because she did want to help her mum anyway she could. As the conversation turned to hunting and Oksana informed Lilya she had caught a hopper her focus changed to the training and practice she'd been doing. A wide grin and her tail swished more rapidly behind her as she received praise for catching the hopper. “Yes, Sana love chasing hoppers.” She didn't know if there were any in Hearthwood but she would very much like if there were.

Lilya wished it was as simple as Oksana had made it seem – that the stars hadn’t needed Kisla. In truth, maybe they hadn’t… maybe the spirits had just been selfish or needed to prove a point more than they needed her. “Maybe yer grandfather needed yer grandma back… th’spirits work in mysterious ways.” Lilya wasn’t sure that making contact in the form of some touch that attempted to comfort the child would be wise, so she simply nodded in place.

Lilya really should have gone into this strategy with a game plan – how to explain all of this to the girl, the war veteran was not sure. “It might ‘urt fer a while… but ‘ventually you’ll know that when ya go ta that place, yer grandmum is always with ya.” She encouraged softly. “Ya can try… jus’ talk ta her, make sure she eats… don’t push ‘er ta talk though.” She could see that make things a little worse. “Why don’t we go n’practice a bit o’chasing then?” She asked, hoping to change the topic a bit and brighten the girl up a bit.

The pup didn't understand why the stars had to take her grandmum and make her mum sad. Why couldn't she stay a little longer with them so that her mum would get more time with Kisla. Then Lilya said something that made sense to Oksana, “I hope he didn't need her for anything bad.” Inna had told her about her grandfather and how her grandmum was with him now. So maybe Lilya was right and that the reason her grandmum had been taken was for her grandad.

Oksana listened to what the woman said about it hurting for a little while but knowing her grandmum will be with her. She even gave her advice on how to take care of Inna which she hoped would work. The pup didn't see why not, except for the eating part. She wasn't sure she'd seen her mum eat anything in the past weeks. “I will try and do my best with her.” Her mum could be difficult though, Oksana knew that much. Then Lilya gave the suggestion of practicing chasing. "I would like that very much,” she stated with her tail wagging.
