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

Yeah, sorry. That's fine. :)

As a light wind rustles the leaves and casts glimmering shadows over the two wolves, Saena settles herself to listen to Shreya's story. It starts in the usual way but takes a quick turn for unusual the moment the elder wolf launches into it. Saena has never spoken with an animal that isn't a wolf and doesn't even know if she can understand them. Must be a skill developed over time, she thinks, but she's doubtful and regards Shreya as a wolf with a special gift. Not unlike her own, in fact. Saena hasn't seen a ghost for a while, but she knows they're still there, and thinks to herself that perhaps Shreya's gift is like that.

Placing it in the back of her mind to ask about another time, the expectant mother shifts in place, responding to an uncomfortable sensation of needing to pee as one of the unborns kick, and she pricks her ears expectantly when Shreya begins to tell her about the stuttering goat's plot. "I thought goats were docile," muses Saena, who assumes perhaps wrongly that the goat in the story intended to kill her rival and steal her pelt. It's something she likely would do if she was an envious goat.
