Hoshor Plains R&R

It was near impossible to tell anymore where Pilman was acting and where he wasn't. She'd never met anyone who changed moods, manners, and temperaments as much as this wolf did, nor was she in a rush to meet another. In all honesty, she was eager to get back to the Phantom Hollow and all its dark shadows, even if they still spooked her a bit.

As he turned his back on her, Mitanni stayed perfectly still, nervously awaiting what he would do or say next. He surprised her by excusing himself with the excuse of finding a meal before an impending storm--though with as much as he'd been talking about food she wasn't sure if he'd actually succeed.

That at least wasn't her problem, and as he instead flopped upon the ground and immediately feigned sleep, the lithe little wolf realized she had her moment. She could get away now without issue while he slept, or pretended to sleep, and that would be the end of it. She backed up a step, another, creeping away, and quietly spun around to run back home.

Thanks for the interesting thread.
