Overture Downs You should go and love yourself*

In the distance, the grove extends a finger of land. Saena is on a course to enter it but, abruptly remembering the disturbing encounter from last time, she angles herself more to the south in an effort to avoid it. In so doing, she catches sight of a figure in the distance, possibly preoccupied as it appears to have its head down. She squints in an attempt to gather more information from a distance but there's nothing much to tell from here. The light of the sun obscures the figure's pelt colour and the species is anyone's guess.

But then it's growing larger by the efforts of both parties—Saena moving toward it, and it toward her, and soon enough she can tell that it is indeed a wolf. A wolf with white fur. She's barely managed to make this detail out when the wolf begins to run at her. The alpha female hunches into a defensive stance, readying herself for an attack as the white-furred wolf, a male, closes the gap.

She has only one second to see his nose is blue before he's pressed right up against her. Something in her chest unexpectedly hitches but then she's laughing and squeaks, "Luke!" while unabashedly pressing closer. Their last encounter ended up with a jealous Reek on scene, but Reek is nowhere to be found this time and she relishes the affection of her close friend.
