Janeway

You’re stuck bickering with one of your companions when a new wolf decides to set you straight. She’s brash and abrasive, but - weirdly enough - you take an instant liking to her. After settling your debate with your rival, you ask her to walk with you, and she cautiously agrees. 

You walk for hours, passing the streams and the rocks and the snowy crevices, right up until sunset. She explains her life, you explain yours, and the moment seems briefly perfect. 

Briefly. 

Before too long, she says she has other commitments, and you sadly say goodbye. You know it’s unlikely that you’ll see her again, but it’s alright. She seems like a nice enough wolf to want to see you again.
