Phantom Hollow Watch the shadows

The mottled black and brown wolf breathed in deeply and released the breath in a quiet sigh, relaxing a little as she caught the scents of the other wolves lingering in the air. They were near even if she couldn't see them, and that was encouraging. Still, her amber eyes continued to search and only stopped once they alighted on a familiar dark shape coming her way.

Instinctively, Mitanni lowered her head and let her tail fall flush with the backs of her legs as Malice approached. She could detect just the slightest hint of authority in her stance, but it wasn't enough to concern her, just a gentle reminder. Behind her came another, the burly figure of Cogitemus, and Mitanni resisted the sudden urge to make her submission clearer. He didn't flaunt authority at least, and only addressed her with concern. At least they showed an interest in her.

"Yeah...yeah, I guess I am," Mitanni answered them both, realizing that the statement was true for each question asked. She smiled ruefully, feeling sheepish now that she was no longer alone. How silly she must look to them. "Just need to get used to this place is all," she assured, nodding her head and hoping it was true.

Great minds think alike.
