To and through the heart

Nice avatar!

She turned towards him with a snarl. Kerosene lifted a wolven brow upon his head. He had snuck up on her, but that was large in part to the trickling babble of the stream that wove through the cavern floor and the associated dampness that came with it. Deafened the ears. Deadened the nose. Made this place a heck of a lot easier to sneak up on other wolves, creatures, whatever. Heck. There could have been someone behind him and he wouldn’t have known until they chose to reveal their presence either.

His posture remained as she approached him. Unbothered and undisturbed by her need to scent him out, he took no issue in letting her gather whatever clues she needed to feel more comfortable with him. He’d not encountered her before, but he recognized her as pack. Even as strangers, they were some kind of kin. It was not of any difficulty for him to be amicable.

Satisfied, her posture changed. His head tipped, watching as she continued on her walk through the darkness. Her footfalls paused as her head turned over shoulder and spoke to him. An order of sorts, but the intention was there. He shrugged before continuing along with her, stepping over the stones to stand aside her in this adventure. ”Why not? I suppose if I were to die in this, I’d rather it be with company.” A bit dramatic, but he too was curious as to what lingered within the dark. They pressed on.
