Hold on loosely

Valkeyrie lay on her back, paws in the air as she studied the sky, watching the clouds that passed overhead. She was lazy and calm, a new feeling for her. It was so different from the tense anxiety of her previous life. Her ears flicked as and insect buzzed to close to them and the little critter had the audacity of flying to her nose. With an annoyed huff she snapped her jaw at the insect, missing it of course but the action alone made her feel somewhat satisfied. Just as she was laying her head back down she heard a voice call out.

In a burst of speed she rolled on to her feet, tensely staring in the direction of the voice. The dark wolf climbed the hill that seemed to separate the two and as she reached the crest she stopped as her eyes fell on the light creature.

”Hello” she said calmly, her face its normal neutral emotion. Her body in a somewhat tense stance and her eyes ever-so-slightly narrowed.
