King Elk Forest Love is the prize

I had to because of the turn of events :D

Laika's mind was whirling and a tear slid down her cheek. She let her paws take her where they wished and the led her to King Elk Forest. To the river that ran over shelves of rock and where the bud of @Casmir and her friendship was created. She didn't realize she was here until she sat down upon her rump, facing the crystal blue water. The tranquility of the place relaxed her and she slowly regained her bearings. Why was she such an emotional wreck? She was so happy that Spring had become the new Alpha, but Saena kept slipping into her head. Was she dead? Was she lost? Did something horrible happen to her? What about her pups? Her heart beat faster and faster as she thought about it and she forced herself to calm down. She had to stop thinking about this. What was done was done, and the pups where in good paws considering they had Spring, Shreya, Laika, and Casmir to look after them.

Casmir. She couldn't get that name out of her head. She shook herself, as if that would clear her mind and she slipped into the pool. The water was amazingly cool, heating be the sun and she paddled around in circles, hoping it would help her calm down. Really there was only one thing -- or person -- that would calm her thoughts, but she wouldn't admit it to herself.
