Broken Antler Fen You fear only fear itself

A bark she hadn't heard in such a long time reached her ears and she turned to see Seb approaching her. Her body hunched down, both in submission and out of habit. She knew her brother, and knew she was safe with him, but she couldn't help the instinct that came over her. Her own tail wagged between her back feet and she smiled to him. Hey, Seb, she greeted. I'm okay, she added, giving the stock response to his question. How are you?

It was weird for her to talk to others. While Seb was her brother, and they had been close before, it had been so long since she had a conversation with another wolf. Her time spent on her own, she made sure not to get close to any other wolves, even to just chat a little. If she seen them on the horizon, she would go the other way. She never had a destination in mind from one moment to the next, the only thing keeping her going was tracking prey.
