While Raiyuk perceived his future, Seal was consumed by her present! Alcohol did that - like she looked through a pinhole. Only the here and now mattered. Tonight, choices had no repercussions and tomorrow was but a distant reverie. It was a novel experience!

“I dinnae believe you!“ Seal lightly heckled in a sarcastic tone as she slapped the top of Raiyuk’s paw. The young woman enjoyed this new side of her friend! He had such a lawful character – and she admired that part of him – but the sealhunter demonstrated his confidence by opening up to this new experience and Seal felt the trust and camaraderie between them deepen.

A saucer was shared and Seal, having already started the drinking domino effect, quickly took a few sips. With each glass, the booze became easier to down. Raiyuk showed no inhibitions and so Seal wrongly assumed he must be equally as tipsy!

“Let’s sit down for a sec,” Seal said when she spied a vacant corner of plush pelts nearby. She practically flopped down into them. “So soft!” she exclaimed.

It was quieter here – outside the dance circle – and Seal exhaled a deep, satisfied sigh as she admired the wolves on the floor.

Her mind ping-ponged around. Suddenly feeling like she needed to overshare, Seal asked, “wanna see something crazy?” Then, she pulled the fur of her shoulder back, against the grain, to reveal a hideous patchwork of criss-crossing scars.
