I've got dreams of you all through my head
Water had surrounded her for most of her life and while the falls and the bay brought back bad memories, they were not as bad as before. The water here was calm but the water back in her homelands was far from, it was always a raging torrent of anger and confusion. Her mind had started clearing and she had become more useful though the term 'useful' still wasn't applicable. She did hunting a majority of the time but she almost always came back with nothing and when she did then she brought home a scrawny rabbit or some other pitiful piece of prey. That was the thing, she needed a teacher but she was terrified of every wolf she ever talked to. She had learned next to nothing in her birth pack because of her siblings constant tormenting and her parents disapproval and condescending words.
She was grateful for the home that Novella provided for her when she found her terrified on the borders but how could she honestly settle in and be of some use if she knew nothing and couldn't be around a teacher without scaring herself almost to death? How was she going to get over this? These thoughts often filled her mind when she was alone and no matter how determined she was to change the fact, she could never quite get it right. She could never quite make that leap to carry out a conversation like a normal wolf. She was far from normal. She passed freaky a few exits back.
"I'm your girl and you're my groom."As he caught her scent his pace would slow, and a soft bark would be uttered from his lips so she knew of his presence long before he got to her. He would walk slowly until his dual colored eyes fell on her frail frame. He'd lowered his head and smile softly, keeping enough distance that she could run away if she wished. His tail would hang low at his ankles all in an effort to keep from making her nervous. "Hello, there." He'd offer quietly as he took a seat a ways away. "I'm Frith, Novella's husband."
A soft bark had caught the attention of the young girl and instinct made her turn with her tail tucked underneath her decent sized frame while her ears slid back against her head and she crouched a bit in fear as she looked around, catching a dark brown man in her eyes. Her eyes widened as she started to back up. It's all talk because here it goes again. Her mind scolded her as she acted the way she had her entire life: afraid. The man introduced himself as Novella's husband. She instantly relaxed a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. Her eyes changed from the solid and stricken fear to the soft and intriguing curiosity. She truly was, in all ways except age, a child, a pup of a young age. "H-hh-He-Hell-Hel-Hello"
