Whats in a future

The shy, small smile of the younger wolf pulled at Sera’s heartstrings. She was pretty good at not getting attached, but something about the young, small wolf before her made her consider her own past. The frightened uncertain wolf that had ventured into these lands on the run. Since then, she had learned a little about fighting and hunting. Just what she could pick up on her own, but it was a start. Did this wolf have someone who could help and teach her?

Not that she should let herself catch feelings. She didn’t need to get herself involved in anybody else's life. Her own was stressful enough. Taking on the baggage of a stranger was a bad, bad idea. But her little wispy voice, and the lift of the paw to leave… Sera sighed, wondering what was wrong with herself. “Wait… Shae, you didn’t disturb me.” She said, getting to her own paws, and stepping cautiously around the lake, a little closer to the other wolf. A part of her had to ask - what if it was a ploy. This wolf was certainly big enough, and a sweet face could get her far if she used it right. What if it was a trap? She shuddered quietly at the thought. She could suspect her father of doing that very thing. Stealing away another vulnerable young wolf, and trying again. Certainly Shae looked about the right age to have fallen into her fathers scheme.
