We Get Back Up Again…


No worries, it’s perfect! Beautiful table, too Smile


It was the smallest of voices, it seemed, that stirred Ester from her hunt. And it was probably a good thing too, for her mind was beginning to wander, and when it did that…well, it tended to gravitate toward strange places. Her bat-like ears swiveled toward the source of the voice, and then her head turned, her honey-toned eyes falling on the figure of a small she-wolf. Ester smiled – she was quite cute, really.

Hello little one! she chirped in her typical happy-to-be-alive tone. Then the girl’s question registered in the thick space between the she-yotes ears and she tilted her head. No, no, she said, almost pondering her answer, I don't live here. Do YOU live here?

Her pensive expression suddenly melted away to make room for her trademark grin, something that she had come to perfect over the course of her lifetime. With her fluffed tail swishing behind her, Ester continued to watch the little canine, studying her features and nearly committing them to memory. Then the motherly instinct inside her made her wonder where her parents were, and her grin dissolved just as her pensiveness had. Are you alone? she suddenly asked, not permitting much time for the girl to answer her first question. Wouldn’t it be a tragedy if she was? she thought. No youngling deserves to experience the rigors of life so soon – or at least, that’s how Ester felt.

Shifting her weight from one paw to the other, the she-yote tipped her head forward and sniffed at the wolf, searching for any traces of an adult of some kind. She had many a’ smell clinging to her plush coat, but none that she could clearly decipher. Finally, drawing her head back, she stuck a smile on her slender muzzle in a ‘go-ahead’ way, curious as to what she might have to say.
