you're a wasp nest

(x) A shadow fell over her, and she dropped into a defensive stance, ready to rip into the threat, but it was only the alpha, his eyes searching hers before he began to nose around her ribs and flank, sniffing for wounds.

Rey whipped around and snapped her teeth a breath from his nose when he sniffed where he shouldn’t be sniffing, and he backed off guiltily. He trotted around her toward the moose with an apologetic lowering of his tail and returned with its heart to set it before her. He backed off again, watching intently to see if she’d eat it. 

behind the name | Zoé (Ζωη in Ancient Greek) ~ life

meaning & history: Means “life” in Greek. From early times it was adopted by Hellenized Jews as a calque translation of Biblical Hebrew Hava or Eve (חַוָּה). 

The name was cherished in the Eastern Roman Empire, most notably thanks to the 11th century ruler Zoë Porphyrogenita who reigned as Byzantine Empress alongside her sister Theodora.  As an English name, Zoe has only been in use since the 1800s. It has generally been far more common among Slavic Christians, with various spellings attesting to its popularity.
