Since her mother had the pups, Rio felt the need to stay away as much as possible. She wanted to be there for her, but at the same time she wanted to stay out of the way. She kind of felt jealous in a way that her mother continued having pups with other males. Why couldn’t she have stayed with Ehno and just been happy with their family? Rio shook her head as she limped toward a rather good looking tree.
Walking behind it, she hadn’t realized it had been occupied already. As she approached, an abrupt image caught her off guard and a very audible, ”Oh,” escaped her lips when she realized who occupied the comfortable looking tree. Ravesque, the brute who was with her mother after the birthing of the new pups. She had a strange feeling from then on that he didn’t really like her, and now this would make it even more awkward. He was positioned beneath the tree, with his head leaning back and his eyes closed. She wasn’t sure if he was awake or sleeping, so she quickly, carefully and quietly limped away from him. Before turning away, she said, ”Sorry,” quietly. Then she began limping slowly toward another comfortable tree some ways away, not so close to him.
