After getting herself situated for the last two days in her new room and after catching up on a lot of sleep, Rio wanted to get out and about around the territory. She still didn’t feel comfortable enough to leave anywhere farther than the outside of the Hotel and around the parts nearer to Halifax, which were more familiar to her. Today, she decided to get familiar with the outside of the Hotel. The few stairs that were in front served as her chair, as she got used to sitting in front of her house in Halifax on the stairs.
As she sat there, she gazed out over the territory. If it could, it would have a new home smell to it. And it kind of did – a new smell that she wasn’t used to smelling. She even, was beginning to take on this new smell by just being surrounded by it. It was interesting how wolves took on their pack smells, and it was something that always had Rio’s mind swirling trying to understand it. It was not understandable though; it just happened.
She sat there with her legs bent on the lower level step with her elbows on her knees. She paid whatever faint noises behind her no mind as she knew others lived within the hotel as well. They wouldn’t hurt her, and they certainly wouldn’t bother her either. She took in the nature of the morning – birds singing and flying everywhere trying to feed their young, squirrels gathering food, bugs collecting nectar from flowers. The morning was just beautiful to Rio, and as she understood that the more feral of wolves slept through morning, she was happy she didn’t. She enjoyed the busy buzz of mornings – she enjoyed being busy during them and she enjoyed watching others be busy during them as well.
