Firestone Hot Springs It's always bears!!

Sorry for the wait! Life outside the Wilds is consuming and very interesting! :D

At some point Dwin must have dozed off, because she missed Val's approach entirely and therefore awoke in quite a shock and panic. She stared at him for a good minute or two, while her brain tried to assess all its options as quickly as possible. And, when the face before her hit "I know you!" frame, she exhaled and relaxed visibly. 

But the problem persisted - she knew the guy, she remembered having met him, but it had happened such a very long time ago (for wolves with their life expectancy months must feel like eternity), that his name was avoiding her like stealthy ghost. You see it in the distance, try to reach him, but it just cackles and scoots off. 

"You are in luck today," she responded. "In case you no longer want to run by your old name, you may introduce yourself again."
