Otatso Wetlands You'll get your boots muddy!

with kat's permission, i will be powerplaying @Regipre for this thread :)

unbeknownst to the hapless pair, a cat did indeed skulk through the fog that noon. the jackal moved in her odd gait at his heels; his tail curled alongside her shoulder. stopping short, shardul took the scent of the forest 'round them and his lip curled in a disgusted snarl. casting a pointed glance at his charge, shardul motioned that she should do as he had explained to her earlier that day.

steeling herself with a breath, regipre -- the cat did not know her name, nor did he care to know it -- moved away from the cat and toward the wolves. when she was a safe distance away from shardul, the child began to whine piteously and loudly, exaggerating her limp for the benefit for the red-eyed wolfess. 

shardul retreated some ways away, gazing through the pale fog at the trio of canine beasts.
