Greatwater Lake we are the reckless

Atka settled her gaze back on Heph.

❝I do,❞ She responded in an unsure tone, continuing. ❝but that particular place, the loss... I had to leave, it's easier to move on when you aren't surrounded by the wolves who did it.❞

❝I'm sure you understand, no?❞ Atka said, still staring.

It was easy for her to speak to Heph, her browns eyes were gentle, yet enticing to Atka.

❝Not to pry, but why did you leave your pack as well?❞

She felt the need to lighten to mood, the talk of heavy things could make her feel nervy at times, even though she was a wolf who didn't shy from her emotions. However, she often was the one initiating talks like these, feeling it was necessary for her to grow closer to another. Atka wanted to know more about this wolf that she enjoyed her time with, simply growing more attached as days went by. If Heph was to leave anytime soon, she wanted moments like these to be how she remember their days spent.
