Otter Creek drip drip drip

A small smile graced the ashen male's face, he had taken a liking to the older wolf immediately, he always seemed to be in a good mood and was helpful. Something that could not be said about himself, but he took the older wolf's offer and waded into the creek until the silvery water reached his knees. He had not once exchanged a single word with Galileo in his pack life but was glad to finally meet him face to face.

"So how's your day?" he asked conversationally as he sat down in the water, allowing the wet coolness to seep through his fur. The water now covered half of his body and for the first time in many days, Shadow felt relaxed.

The quiet flow of the creek soothed his nerves like exploring usually did except it did not require any energy at all. He swiped his tail around his paws and grinned at the older wolf.
