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

Saena's giggles began anew. The whitest goat in all the world, potentially, had become the meal of a wolf just like any other goat. She supposed it made sense—a white-haired goat was no less edible than any other goat, and was made all the more conspicuous for being unique. Her tongue pressed over her teeth sympathetically in search of lingering hair, but unlike Shreya, Saena had not eaten a shaggy goat in her life.

Her giggles died down when a sudden oompf of movement put pressure on her bladder. The pups were over being told stories in the womb, it seemed, and Saena was to be the victim of their kicking for a time. "Pardon me, Shreya," Saena said with a light wince and a smile. "It's time I go for a walk and relieve myself, these pups are demanding it." A walk, a potty break, and then maybe she would attempt to be productive so as not to lapse back into complete misery. "Thank you for the story," she said earnestly, but then another kick to the bladder made her nearly pee herself, and the Alpha scurried away to find a place to let it go.
