The ghostly girl swallowed hard as Ampere finally came into view. What had been a strong determined stance before suddenly melted away at the sight of the blue. Locked knees became jello, and her gut, filled with confidence and certainty, was now ice cold.
"Unmh-" She stuttered, trying to find a concise way of answering her mother's question, but finding only her tongue ten sizes too large in her mouth. And so, her pack, doing what pack animals are meant to do, trotted forward to try and support their bonded.
Mal, the known wolf-pup stood on Tae's left. His hackles raised, though his teeth weren't barred and his tail stood out straight from his body, rather than upright. However on her right, stood a new addition. Hel, an equally black pup, but with fiery accents , stood nearly as tall as Mal, despite being younger. The Hellhound was stockier than the wolf pup, and appeared more aggresive than his counterpart as well. He didn't advance towards Ampere, but it was clear that his allegiance was to the stuttering the girl.
"IDIDN'TDOITONPURPOSE,MOTHER,ISWEAR." She exhaled all at once, sounding like Zero more than she ever had. The worse gushed out of her as her eyes widened in surprise and alarm at how poorly this was all going. "There was this sea monster, and the eggs were trapped, and I swear I was just trying to get it away from the monster when it hatched and-" Her voice trailed off, waiting for Ampere's screeches to do it for her. Grusha and Asaavi had both been there - had seen the monster and helped her get the eggs to safety. It was going to eat them - but that other monster was going to kill the wolves when she had found Mal, and her mother hadn't seem to care much about that. And despite the fact that she honestly hadn't been looking for trouble this time, she doubted her mother would believe her.
Sheepishly, she looked at both pups, wanting nothing more than to express how happy they made her, how happy they seemed. They were pack animals after all. But instead of being able to say any of that, Tae just stood, her body flickering in and out of a solid state.

this was your heart, this swarm of flies
This was once your mouth - this bowl of lies
