Stavanger Bay Morgenstern Balding

Heph was slightly surprised by the question, she waffled for a moment over how to answer it. After all, from her perspective she was still not very old even if she was fairly sure that she was older than this young she-wolf. There were practical answers to the question, of course, things that a wolf would likely need to do to survive - hunt, make friends. And there were, of course, things she had done that she felt were important to her - climb mountains, explore, see the sea. But was there really anything essential to all wolves? The world was always changing, wolves were always changing, if there was one answer there were at least a thousand. "Have friends, family, and let them go I suppose." She hesitated, but did wish to explain herself. "Wolves can come and go in life, but we can hardly live without connections. I guess it is important to know how to chase after them, lose them, let them go where they need to go and go where you need to go, and then still be able to chase after them again or maybe someone else." There was a shrug of her shoulders, almost unsure though as if she were questioning her own words. Tilting her head she fixed her gaze more squarely on the grey wolf "What do you think? If it is essential to living surely you are alive and have ideas of your own." A part of her wished merely to deflect, but the larger was genuinely curious. She hoped to have at least a few years left of her own life perhaps this wolf would have answers on how best to spend them.

XD this got real deep real quick
