Only the ocean

With a flick of her paw and a don’t worry about it, the new wolf dismisses the need for Meadow to apologize. A laugh bubbles up and out as the other wolf calls it ‘training’. Meadow talks fast and jumps from one subject to another. Silence is just space for someone to figure out that she is too cheerful or too soft. If they figure that out they might leave her. With her, fear is not just a state of mind; it is her whole way of life. She dreads the unknown, is frightened to death of failing and anguishes at the thought of losing friends. So, to combat that, she talks… and she talks a lot. Friends are a treasure to her and so, when this new wolf doesn’t run away after the first barrage of words, Meadow holds out hope that this new female will be her friend. Looking around, she hears the wolf’s reply that she has not seen anything like this either. Meadow hears her new friend (well so she hopes) pad closer and, as she moves to look at the beautifully colored wolf, feels the wolf hip bump her. Head shoots around to fully look at the other wolf as she retreats and introduces herself as Hanako. Meadow’s tail matches Hanako’s in speed and she listens as she tells the bubbly wolf not to worry about talking. Practically bouncing from the happiness at being told it is okay to talk, Meadow bounds over to Hanako and finds herself full of giggles. She bounces around the colorful wolf and nods enthusiastically at Hanako’s suggestion. The words that come out are still filled with joy but they come at a slightly slowly clip. She says, “Okay Hanako! That sounds like a plan! And thank you. You are very kind.” A bright smile appears. Remembering the hip bump, a joke comes to mind to get back at Hanako. Stopping suddenly, Meadow pretends to look at something in the distance. To sell the prank she says, “Will you look at that.” Moving forward toward the unseen object, hoping Hanako is looking for the fictitious thing, Meadow gasps, “Oh no! It is an ankle biter!” With a great laugh, Meadow rushes toward Hanako, pretending to bite at her paws before zooming off into the next room to find some herbs. Laughter follows Meadow as she goes.
