Totoka River crooked river

Her time as a loner was not so long ago that she forgot what it was like with no place to call home.  If it were possible her eyes softened, and she lowered her head with a whine.  

She did not want to startle or chase off this poor man, who had been alone for however long.  Maybe he didn't want a place, but who would she be if she did not try?

She circled to the direction of the landbridge and gave a toss of her head — "Come."
