Sunset Valley New Arrival

Calida shifted restlessly, her discomfort growing; she knew she could not be alone forever, but she couldn't just jump right in. No, she would have to ease herself into it all. It started, she supposed, with simply meeting others, and she had done just that with Lane. At any rate, the other female seemed to respect her wishes, and gave her directions to a nearby water source. When Lane mentioned that Calida would be welcome at the glacier, should she change her mind, the red wolf nodded, saying, "Thanks. I'll keep that in mind."

She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. Turning east, Calida said, "It was good meeting you. I doubt I'll stay in the area for too long, but if I'm ever around, I'll pay you a visit." She smiled slightly, feeling that she hadn't messed up too badly at her first stranger wolf meeting. "Thanks again," she added, bowing her head respectfully. Anxious to get moving again, Calida turned and headed east, ready for the familiar solitude that she was used to.
