I'll Keep My Eyes Fixed on the Sun

It took him longer than he realized to catch the scent of another wolf, it was odd that he did not spot her sooner considering her close proximity to him. He pulled his ears back in alarm and before he could lap up more than a few mouthfuls of water he turned to see where the scent originated. He didn't see much until the sight of red fur caught his attention. He had stumbled upon a sleeping she wolf.
He cocked his head to the side in a questioning manner, but realized it was he who was trespassing. She had arrived there first and he had disturbed her nap. Now he felt bad. "I'm sorry I disturbed your nap miss. I'll just be getting a drink and heading on my way." He doubted that she was in need of some company, and since she had made no aggressive move he deemed her nonthreatening. "I've been travelling and I just needed a nice quiet place to rest for a while. It seems I wasn't the only one to think this clearing satisfactory." He told her as his head leaned down once more for the cool sip.
