Blacktail Deer Plateau A bit of peace and quiet

Blue had gotten close enough to make out the form of the male Dante and she had to smile. His own smile and his enthusiastic greeting was a balm to her hurting soul. She felt so out of sorts lately, and she really felt that she was lacking as a leader, simply because she was so scattered. She had even thought about stepping further down, but couldn't do it, wouldn't do it. This pack, her family they were too important for her to abandon, because she felt sad.

Blue returned the nuzzle to his shoulder and smiled softly. Hello Dante! I have been better, but I have been worse, so I suppose i'm okay. How are you my friend? She grew quiet and sat down to the ground near him, folding her tail around her paws. And giving him her full attention.
