The rustling that that breeze made in the trees that surrounded her bade the fey to close her eyes, and she did so. Everything relaxed her. The feel of her fur drying in the sun, the sounds of the trees and the water around her. While she enjoyed what the humans had termed music, it did not compare in her heart to the music of nature. There was no way to duplicate the sound of a trickling stream by unnatural means. None could harness the wind and how it whistled through the sky. No one could replicate the song of the nightingale. This was her music, her true music. For while her DNA had been mutated by that virus, at her core she was a wolf and a child of nature and nothing could ever change that.
Savina's nose twitched as she briefly caught the scent of another nearby, though she didn't bestir herself. It was a packmate, she knew, so there was no cause for concern. A contented sigh escaped the woman's lungs. For the moment she was letting all her stresses and worries leave her mind vacant and what a calm it brought upon her. Being a leader could be tiresome at times, but at least she was still able to have these moments of serenity. Triangular eyes swiveled on her head as they heard movement in the water coming towards her. Lazily her eyes opened and she lifted her head to see who it was. The greyscale form of Orion met her vision and she offered the youth a small smile. "Hello Orion"
She turned her now mostly dry body to face the younger wolf. She hadn't seen much of him lately, not since the birth of her pups. Perhaps he was taking trips out to search for his mother and brother. Even if he wasn't the most prominent pack member around, she was glad to offer him a home and she always had been. "Taking advantage of the cool water too I see. How have you been fairing lately?" Well, she hoped.
