Summer was a creature both blessed and cursed with a large heart. Both of his parents had one of the same. They loved fiercely, with every inch of their very souls. To his mother, it was her greatest strength and joy. Nothing brought her more fulfillment in her life than to love those she cherished with every piece of her being.

Dhani, though. While his father's heart was just as large and his love just as fierce, for much of his life it had been his curse. His love made him feel weak and unworthy. He gave his all to those he loved, but never did it feel adequate enough for so great was his admiration that he felt he never could live up to them, could never please them, could never make them love him back. At every turn in his life, his love had been his failing until the day he had met Summer's mother. Everything then had changed, until suddenly it was the same and it was in his love for her that he lost his life at the very same moment she lost hers.

The Little Leviathan had yet to determine which was more true for him, but that was the blessing of youth. There was still time for life to show him his path and to teach him of his heart with each passing day. Today was one of those where, compelled by his heart, he had struck out early in the day to follow the trail of a packmate for whom concern had gripped him.

He came upon her now, admiring a forest that he failed to notice as anxiety tightened in his chest. Now that he had finally come upon the red wolf, he felt suddenly stupid and awkward. She was going to think he was creepy--following her all this way just to ask if she was alright since the attack? He didn't even know her! Yet, she was pack. Dhani had always said that a pack was family, and nothing was more important than family. Maybe he didn't know her yet, but that was really the whole reason he was there.

Swallowing back his nerves, Summer stepped forward towards the coywolf and chuffed lightly to announce his presence. Awkwardness written all over the teen, he squeaked out a nervous little, "Hi," and then fell completely silent, for some inexplicable reason scared that everything about the friendly, happy scenario he had envisioned was about to go terribly wrong.
