The Sunspire If you wanna be my lover

Sorry for the wait!

The sound of someone approaching, and quite loudly at that, roused Chai from her thoughts. His loud, boisterous call made her flinch, ears pricking up suddenly. He was full of energy and appeared quite cheerful. So very much unlike herself. Somewhere buried inside, were those same emotions, not having seen the light of day in a long time. 

Visibly surprised, she scooted into an upright sitting position, flicking her soft blue eyes at him. She squinted. She hadn't seen this particular wolf before. She angled her face to the side as he voiced concern, tail curling over her paws. "Oh um...yeah. Just...goin through a tough time..." That wasn't entirely a lie, but Chai was far too modest to outright admit the whole truth - especially one related to the season, to a total stranger.
