Cut Rock River If I Fail What Happens Then?

Pip was unbothered by silence, well used to its presence as wolves struggled how to handle her. She always seemed to present like a puzzle to them and she marveled over how all dealt with it differently. Most were happy to be rid of her when she made to leave. Pip knew most found it uncomfortable to not have someone reply to their questions or conversation by the way they shuffled or looked at her askance. However, as there was little she could do about it, Pip was also learning to not be bothered by it.

For his credit, her young knight, @Kyrios, was incredibly polite. He made no mention of her rudeness and thanked her for the meal. Strange, that. So many times she'd done the same for others - sharing a meal with a stranger - and others had taken it as their due.

The pregnant mute smiled at the yearling with affection. He had a heart like Kjell's, though her mate was far rougher around the edges. She wished Kyrios would not meet with so hard a life to sharpen him. The world needed more softness in it. There was already enough hardship. Not to say she would change her mate - she fell in love with him, all of him and nothing less. But he had suffered and she'd not wish it on another.

Pip wagged her tail at his thanks and even nudged the remains of the fish towards him - the rest was his as thanks for saving her. No matter what the little lives within her stated, she knew herself to be full and need no more lest she lose what she'd already eaten in reprimand for overeating. After a moment, the little wolf stood with a languid stretch, her belly bulging out ridiculously for her petite frame. She dipped her head to her new friend as if to say goodbye and even stepped forward to give a quick lick to his forehead in final thanks before she turned for home. The Hollow was waiting. She paused on her way to offer one final wag of her tail as if to extend an invitation to find her if ever he felt the need for company. And then she was gone.
