It was such a relief to know that the time they had spent away from each other had not changed them. Though Toprak had seemed lonely when she had met him, he had still been bright and playful, easygoing and friendly. Even now he radiated that same exuberance as he came to stand beside her, his blue eyes smiling just as about as widely as his face. She could do nothing but smile back, so glad to be reunited with her friend. Already she was making promises to herself to visit him more often if he still chose to remain on his own, just to keep their friendship alive and with fewer long spans of time away as they had already gone through.

He wasted no time in getting their conversation started, assuring her that he had been determined to find her again after they had parted ways. His kind words were comforting and she was grateful to know that he thought so well of her to actually consider seeking her out. "I've only been with my pack," she explained timidly as he lowered his nose to her own. She hesitated for a moment, considering, before she lifted her head from the snow and trailed her muzzle up along the side of his.

Seeing no point in staying upon the cold snow, the little wolf glanced down at herself and then scooted, drawing her paws closer and then pushing herself to a standing position. She shook her body carefully to work out most of the snow, and then wagged her tail as she set her dark brown eyes upon the white wolf beside her again. "Have you still been staying by the wall?" Merci asked curiously. Had he possibly joined a pack in the time they had been away? She was hopeful, but Toprak had been alone for so long. Perhaps he was just more comfortable that way.
