Stavanger Bay Den-mother Doe

Sharkbait did not react much when touched or questioned, not because she was disobedient (far from it) but simply because her lethargy and confusion made everything fairly difficult. She sort of wanted to go back to sleep, yet she had a feeling Amayo would find it rude. So she kept her eyes open, though they felt dry and grainy, and even did her best to listen to the she-wolf's platitudes.

Amayo's point scarcely processed in her overtired brain but Sharkbait stashed it away for future contemplation. "Yes," she replied simply, since Amayo hadn't asked much of her. Truly, she didn't have much choice but to live in the present. Her past was a blurry shadow and her future was equally indecipherable.
