Phoenix Maplewood Thinking 'bout the last time I saw you smiling

Mind if I seek to use this thread for Shreya's Counselor trade, maybe with Shreya attempting a bit of focused emotional support? :)

Knowing that some wolves didn't like being watched while they ate (and that Alphas had the prerogative to do a fair bit of snapping if they were that type), Shreya looked away politely as Saena ate her snack. But the quiet chomping was oddly satisfying, as if she herself were eating. She quickly realised that this was because it was a relief to see the self-starved mother-to-be take care of herself more than she had been. She got the impression from her personality alone that Saena was a very independent young thing who certainly could take care of herself... but that didn't mean she was impervious to a lack of success in that area. The skinny body proved that well enough.

She appreciated being called noble, and didn't deny it. Shreya was lacking in self-deprication, and while her desire to spread her knowledge throughout the Maplewood was very much her own, there was some selflessness to it too. Thank you, said the elder with a little dip of her head. I never travelled in my youth, but yes I travelled far to come here. It struck her then that some stories of the road might prove a welcome distraction to the Alpha if accepted. Want me to tell you a little about it?
