The silver female listened as she should. Jazia’s story was very different than her own, which brought back the painful memories of her childhood. Shifting her weight off the leg she had been laying on, the girl still watched the other wolf while she spoke. The breeze once again ruffled her fur and danced across the flat part of her pointed muzzle, tickling her nose with the delicate scent of the pink colored blossoms. Ever looked up at the tree she lay closest to, swiveling her ears back towards her friend to reassure her she was still attending the story swap.
The little flowers were the gentle color of a cloud caught in the light of a sunset. They moved slightly in the wind but never left the branch they grew on. She admired they’re strength, twitching her tail when she felt something crawling quickly across it. Looking back over at Jazia she was able to catch the last part of their conversation. She eyed her suspiciously when she stopped abruptly; returning the attentive gaze the she-wolf gave her.
Please go on. Ever urged the gray wolf softly. She could tell that talking was relieving both the wolves of their other worrisome thoughts. Unfortunately, talks of home force Ever to break down the walls she built carefully around her past with only a slow cuff. The edges of her heart fluttered with pain when her mother’s cries and weak words flowed out of her maw in the silver female’s mind’s eye. She suppressed and shudder and eagerly glanced back over at Jazia, impatiently waiting for an opportunity to forget.
Fishes in the bank jumped into the cool summer air, sending up a rainbow of droplets. Sunrise was already appearing on the horizon and reflected upon the ocean, turning the frothy waves to gold. As the silver fish dove back into the water, another quickly replaced it’s spot, twirling and twisting it’s slick wet body. Ever watched it all with an intent silver gaze, turned sky blue from the faint sun light.
