When Citali jumped, Saena did the same, taking a few cautious steps back in case her fellow wolf didn't take kindly to her presence. The healer didn't respond aggressively, though, so the yearling let out a bated breath, only to say, "uh, what?" two seconds later. Where had Citali gotten the idea that there was an earthquake? Wasn't it impossible for only one wolf in the same area to feel an earthquake? Racking her brain, the young female tried to come up with an explanation... and when the lightbulb went off, she chuckled.

She opted for the safer approach: elaboration. "That's just an expression," she said, still chuckling, "for like... what's up? How's it going?" As she said this, Saena reclined to her haunches. She slung her head sideways to chew on her left shoulder for a second, where a bug bite aggravated her, and then returned her full attention to the healer.
