Horizon Ridge whiz-bang attitude

Pump asked how he was doing when they paused for a break, and Edy had to search a moment for an answer. “Well enough,” he replied. He enjoyed the slow pace of Horizon Ridge for the most part, though he knew that such things rarely lasted long. Often, Edy found himself feeling disconnected from the wolves here. His conversations seemed to come to a skidding halt, leaving him with no more to say and nothing to connect with. It was a shame, considering he had nothing against any of them.

“How about you?” he asked. Again, he felt the disconnect. Edy did not feel like he knew any of his pack-mates particularly well, including Pump. It was even the same way with Pied, a very warm and inviting wolf. Perhaps there was something wrong with him that was making him feel this way. But he would put on his best face and make the most of it. It was not like he had some other place where he belonged any more than the ridge.
