Ghost in the Winds

The older wolf assured him that he was alright, but Summer was not convinced. His instincts proved correct on the matter for very shortly after his declaration, his packmate was confessing the truth of his feelings. The Ostrega listened quietly as russett wolf told his tale, sympathy quickly flooding him. It seemed he was not so out of his element in this conversation as he had previously thought for he too had suffered a loss as grave as this.

"I'm very sorry for your loss," Summer said quietly, "I'm sure it must be difficult for you, even after so long." A great deal more time had passed between this wolf's loss and Summer's own, but the yearling had no doubt that time had not done much to erase the pain. "My name is Summer," he added after a moment, not wanting to press the man to continue sharing if he didn't want to, but not wanting to make it seem as though he was unwilling to listen.
