Silver Creek The deal we made a thousand years ago

So cute!

Shreya lapped up a few more gulps of water to still her aching belly, then continued her border patrol. Yep, the old lady was doing border patrol. Oh most certainly she was probably the least fit wolf in the pack, but she was intent upon doing her bit. These were not times of solace, she could not afford to curl up safely in the territory's core as she had at Phoenix Maplewood. But she took it easy, preserving her strength and not pushing herself too hard, and Laika's presence came as a welcome interruption. She sat down almost immediately.

Hello Laika, she said with a smile. She liked the girl. Shreya pointedly did not look directly at the fish lest she weaken, but did comment on it. Taking good advantage of the Creek's wealth, I see, she observed approvingly.
