Olive couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene which unfolded before her. Emotions of longing and musing rose within her like a warm, incoming tide. Memories of her life past were awoken by the jostling and antics of the two. Her own formative years allowed her a long, lackadaisical and immensely educational childhood. Olive had often spent her days rolling around with her brothers, using their wild imaginations to weave situations so unrealistic that it was difficult for her parents to comprehend. She learned about the world by experience it firsthand. I was lucky, Olive thought. She heard too many tales of wolves with dark pasts, whom no longer had a home or a family to speak of. Where ever her natal pack resided nowadays, Olive hoped [in her heart of hearts] that they were well.

Too often were older wolves jaded and encumbered by the weight of… life. Olive [try as she might] sought to escape such a fate through spiritual oneness… but even she was subject to occasional melancholy. Teaghlaigh was young and malleable and Olive was glad that the family had an adolescent presence to ground them.

The young male introduced himself as Cam and shared Chusi’s name/impressive title. Olive was only allowed a gracious nod in response before Chusi quickly usurped the spotlight. In a normal situation, Olive may have been slighted having been so blatantly ignored – but the grey femme easily dismissed the act. Evenmore; Olive was genuinely interested in what Chusi had to say.

Olive sat her haunches on the ground and continued to observe.
