Neuvi

Neuvi was a young pup when a strange new pack took up land near her packs territory. "Don't go near them, Neuvi" her mother often warned her. "They're dangerous." She didn't fully know why her mother seemed so concerned about the other pack, they didn't look dangerous to her.
One day she was playing in the surf a gray pup she didn't know bounced up to her. "Hello!" She chirps. "I'm Neuvi!"
The new pup seems to grin at her. "Hello! Name's Wriothesley, but you can call me Wrio." He moves closer. "You have a pretty name, Neuvi.."
She paws at the sand bashfully. Some of the other pups in the pack had complimented her before, but none of them like Wriothesley. She was about to respond when she hears her mother calling her. "Neuvi! Where are you?"
"O-Oh.. My mother's calling me.. I need to go. Will I see you again?" Her downed mood brightens back up again when Wriothesley nods, and with one last smile at him she takes off back to her mother. "COMING MAMA!"

A few days later Neuvi sneaks away down to the shore once more, hoping to see the strange pup again. She bats idly at the foam caused from the surf hitting the shore, whining quietly when she doesn't see him. "Maybe he isn't coming..?" she thinks, not entirely sure why she's so upset at that thought.
Suddenly, a shadow is cast across her face, causing her to look up. "Wriothesley!"
The gray wolf grins at her, plopping down next to her. "I saw you down here and snuck away." He explains, playfully batting some water at her.
She yelps, having not expected such, before she's batting water back at him. Soon that section of the shore is filled with the sound of their laughter as they chase one another up and down the beach, playfully splashing and tackling each other.

It'd been almost a month of knowing Wriothesley when her mother found out about their friendship. After a long lecture she runs down to the beach, hoping Wriothesley would be there. "He's dangerous, Neuvi! His whole pack is. Stay away from him. I told you that already." Her mother had said. She didn't know why her Mama didn't like Wriothesley. He was so nice to her! Still, she snuck away again that night to see Wriothesley down by the beach.
"Neuvi!" He calls when he sees her, bounding towards her. He skids to a stop in front of her, spraying sand everywhere. "Are you okay? You were late." He pads closer, looking all over her, eyes anxious as he searches for any injuries.
She giggles, nudging her muzzle against his. "I'm okay, Wriothesley." She assures him. "My mama found out I'd been seeing you and got upset... But I still snuck out!"
"Oh..." He looks conflicted. "I dont want to cause conflict between you two.."
"You're not!" She hurries to tell him, bumping their muzzles against each other again. "Mama doesn't think I should be around you.. But I want to be! So I'll keep sneaking out to see you!"
His gaze and posture softens, and he bumps his muzzle back against hers. ".. Alright." After a moment of content silence. "I found you something. Stay here, Ill get it for you."
She tilts her head but stays put like he requested, watching him bound off. A few minutes later he returns with a shell in his mouth.
He drops the shell into the sand and noses it towards her, eyes bright.
"Its-.. I love it!" She chirps, bouncing towards him and nuzzling against him.
