Othello

As I walked back to the landof the Woodland Farm, I held my head low, taking rough breaths. Where had Akia and Cookie gone? Figuring I might find themhere again I walked toward the house, the only house, and slowed toa halt, though I was already moving rather slow.The look of slight sorrow took the place where joy once shown. Sighing, I raised my dial and pointed my maw to the sky. Aiming my black nose directly at the dull sun, I howled out loudly, in a low tone to tell of how I felt. Yes, this seemed to calm and soothe my nerves, for whatever reason. I just believed I needed a friend by me that I could talk to. Sighing again, I lowered myself onto my belly and repositioned my head. Now I was looking forward, straight at the porch. My auds were pricked, although they swiveled a bit every now and then as I heard various noises. I waited, for either Akia or Cookie. My tail lightly wagged, showing part of what I was currently feeling.


Akia

Akia trotted happily in. She had come back from the Ashen Domes. She gave Othello a friendly lick.
"Hello Othello! Cookie's somewhere around here. Always exploring and helping wolves and dogs alike"
He barked laughing. Cookie had recently helped a wolf pup named Taipa.


Othello

My lonesome gaze averted as myhead liftedand turned to look at Akia. My features lit up with excitement and pleasure. I immedietly stood, tail wagging full force. "Hello!" I yipped, trotting over to her and stopping right before her. She laughed a bit, returning Akia's lick with one of her own; planting it gently apon the other border collie's muzzle. "I was wonderingwhenyou'de show up! So, what do you want to do?" I asked, feeling joyful and happy now. I waited patiently for her answer, tongue lolling out over the side of my lower lip.


Akia

She wagged her tail. Akia smiled and gave othello a friendly lick. "Whatever you want to do! We could play a game or go help Cookie with whatever he's doing..." Akia wagged her tail once more. And sniffed the air. It was a clean, fresh smell. Akia's pelt shone in the sun. Even though it was winter, it doesn't mean that there's no sun!
