you're waiting for a train...

Grai felt like this winter would be different. He wouldn’t spend it on the boarders fighting off wolves. This time, he’d be more social. He didn’t want the winds to tempt the more dangerous things out of his mind. For the first time in a long time, he felt like his brother’s spirit had slowly stopped haunting him. Perhaps it was the two girls. Or maybe he hadn’t been haunted at all and the loneliness had simply gotten to him over the months and years.

He turned at hoofbeats approaching him and smiled as Soda approached. She was a good thing that had happened. Grai had the first sense of stability he’d had in a very long time. He returned her nuzzle with a smile.

“Good morning,” He said. “So where’s the girls?” He was used to seeing them with Soda. She was a good mother it seemed. She kept them out of trouble which must have been hard. Grai was certain of that.
