Ouroboros Spine Oh, in time you'll see

Lol I've felt like that every day this week. @_@ I had to ask my boyfriend to confirm that I just dreamed about wrapping myself in the comforter and crawling on him like a giant inchworm, because I thought it really happened...

A fleck of mud flew off Mordecai's leg as he shook it and stuck itself to Sialuk's fur instead. She watched it with an amused smirk, only looking back at the Alpha male when he began to speak. As she took in his words and tried to think about what she'd really been looking for, it occurred to her that this sort of interaction was new. Where Sialuk came from, the Alpha gave orders to the Betas, who gave orders to the pack. Rarely did the Alphas directly interact with their subordinates. As a consequence, Mordecai seemed nothing like the Alphas she was used to. He was... open and kind.

"Muskrat or beaver, maybe," she said with a wry grin, "perhaps a rare otter. Let me guess: all that lives here is toads." Had it been summer, the pair might have found a regal heron hidden in the rushes, but there was nothing now. Otters would be nearer the lake, muskrats wouldn't take chances in the thick, trapping mud, and beavers were much more partial to lakes than wetlands... of coursd, Sialuk knew little of their habits. They were exceptionally rare where she was from.
