Qeya River A muffled cry and slipping off

As he was in his trance state, the bark of another wolf brought him back to the sad reality of his life. He did jump a bit before realizing what he had heard. A glance took him to a darkened wolf to his side, it wasn't his finest hour for what had just happened has made him a bit on edge. He sighed and then gave a slight smile, even though that wouldn't cover up his emotions. 

"Just a bit shaken that's all." he almost stuttered a bit before catching himself in the process. He wanted to tell the story that wasn't his to tell. He knew the wolf was a female by her scent, he was relaxed a bit that it wasn't a male. He carefully stepped on the slippery rocks back to the stable ground and waited for her to reply.
