Oh No, Don't Let Me Go

Despite her aversion to water, the beach had become one of Aslatiel’s favorite places. Though she wouldn't go near the ocean, the sound of the waves was incredibly soothing. The warmth of the sun beating down on her light colored pelt was comforting. Those two things together quickly lulled the child to sleep.

There hasn't been much to do that day. Azure and Mort seemed to be busy. Indy was nowhere to be seen, nor was their father. Their mother was busy holding down the territory. Everyone was busy but her. They were supposed to travel in pairs, but Asla had always had trouble with following orders. If there was no one to travel with, she had no choice but to travel alone, right?

Aside from napping in the sand, the young wolf had no plans for the day. When she woke up, she might try to hunt herself some lunch, but other than that, this was her life right now. She wasn't complaining.
