Lazy Day

When the other woman appears, rushing into the water, Meadow’s eyes widen in surprise. She stays quiet, not wanting to be rude or to startle the woman. Is she sick? Does the woman need help? Staying quiet for the time being, allowing the female to collect herself, Meadow watches a particularly interesting cloud drift across the sky. In truth, the cloud is like any other but she doesn’t want to intrude until the other wolf has time to compose herself. 

When she hears the worried exclamation along with the apology and greeting, Meadow once more turns her attention back to the wolf in the water. A smile breaks across her face as she says, “Hello! My name is Meadow! I am new here!” Her joy is written in every word and every fiber of her being screams of energy and happiness. 

Her cheerful expression turns to concern, brows knitting together and mouth tuning down in a slight frown, as she looks at the other female. She asks, “I don’t mean to sound rude but are you okay? You seemed in such a rush and I just want to be sure. Is there anything I can help with?” Head tilts slightly and she watches the woman, ready to lend assistance if she needs it.
