Swiftcurrent Creek Burnin' in my soul

“Quite a name,” Fox remarked, “Where’d it come from?” The yearling briefly recalled her failed attempt at giving Jace a name. The memory would have been a fond one, had he not revealed to her during that same encounter that he had some kind of mental problem... which later led to him being forcefully removed from the creek. It was a shame, really. Fox had thought him to be merely kidding himself in some way... making up a problem that didn't exist. Next time, she would make no mistake. If somebody said they had a problem, she would believe them right from the beginning and assure that they were removed more swiftly.

As Fox awaited the other girl's answer, she looked her over. Fox rarely thought much of beauty, so if Rina was beautiful, Fox would never have guessed. Rina was thinner than most, though certainly not underweight. She had the build of a runner, not one of a fighter. In fact, she wasn't too different from Fox in her body type. But where Fox had scars and bruises from fighting, Rina had kept herself free from such things, as far as the Alpha could tell.
