Horizon Ridge The Setting sun (Nuka)

Nuka stood but only to move so far as the water so that she could lower her head and lap up a few drinks from it's cold depths. The weather here was cold to most, but this was as hot as it often got in her northern homes at the height of summer. For that reason, she felt most comfortable.

"Perhaps, I do not know him well enough to come to that conclusion. Don't disregard his lack of friendship to mean he doesn't put much stock in it. It's my experience that they value courage, strength and loyalty - but nothing comes easy in the north. We are raised from an early age to question things that come to easy. We should work for the things we wish, and follow the paths set out for our kind. It is a guessing game depending on the wolf - as it is in most things."

She listened as the smaller female moved to talk about a personal affection she had for another.

"You must decide what it is you wish. If you wish to remain here, seek out the leader. Subjugate yourself to her, beg forgiveness and ask permission to stay and raise your little ones here. If she is not receptive - as is her right, flee. But speak to this male, see what he wishes of you. Males often do little thinking when around a female in season, make sure his goals are the same as yours. If you have not yet crossed that boundary, dear heart -I suggest, that you use the up most caution and see where your heart and head are when the rush of desire has faded."
