Kaija wouldn't stay in Valhalla forever. She knew that now, it was a truth she wouldn't hide from herself. Leaving her mom and siblings, if they decided not to come with her, sounded scary but she knew she could come visit them anytime - Kaija was using that to comfort herself as she worked through the plan in her head. She wasn't sure yet when she'd leave for good, she just knew she was going to, and with that realization came a strange sense of relief. She'd be able to go anywhere she wanted without worrying about coming home if she didn't feel like it. She'd be able to see the whole world! And honestly, she was going out exploring a lot more now that she'd decided that - and seeing Ophie more often too.
She felt comfortable around her, like she could do and say whatever she wanted without fear of judgment. It was refreshing, and oftentimes at the end of their visits she had trouble saying goodbye and going back home. Maybe someday she wouldn't have to - though Ophie had a pack of her own to go back to anyway. It was a nice thought, imagining the two of them going on an adventure together, but she knew given Ophie's life it probably wasn't a realistic one. It was a nice thought, but it wouldn't stop Kaija from taking advantage of their time together to the best of her ability.
Today that entailed exploring the gulley and debating on who was going to eat one particularly odd looking mushroom. Surely it wasn't poisonous - it smelled fine, which was enough for her - and she thought if either of them ate a little bite that the worst that could happen was someone getting sick. Kaija wasn't the most foresighted wolf and she had trouble imagining anything really bad happening, so she was adamant that Ophie should try it first. She loved to eat, after all, so why not? Apparently she couldn't quite convince her friend of that, and so here they were, settling the argument in a totally normal way - with a race.
She had no idea who would win, but she'd give it her all anyway. "Fine," she acquiesced as Ophie drew the starting line and pointed out where they were racing to. Kaija zeroed in on it, springing forward the moment she saw Ophie moving out of the corner of her eye. She felt her heart beginning to pound in her chest as she headed across the field toward the hill ahead of them. Sure, it wasn't a huge distance but she was used to walking for long periods, not running like this - the ache in her legs began almost instantly but she plowed on, scrambling fast and hard over dried grass and twigs as she started up the base of the little hill.
