Emberwood May the bridges I have burned light my way back home

Lost in her troubles and her thoughts, Maja didn't notice the scent until it was very close. She instinctively went on guard, her muscles tensing. She looked around and saw the wolf. She had to admit he was cute, but that wasn't important. He could attack her, so she had to be careful.

 She should've said something like, 'what do you want?' or 'go away', but unlike herself, she began with a causal "Hey."

 She judged inspected the wolf out of habit. A small part of her was hoping this was a pack wolf, a pack she could join. 'No, remember Aduin', she told herself off. 'But he left you', it argued. 'I do want to, though', she thought guiltily.
