King Elk Forest blood in the sunlight

The addressed him and subtly he the svelte coywolf ghosted closer to investigate in more detail what her situation was and attempting to determine if she was in need of his assistance. The scents that clung to her pelt were unfamiliar to the witch doctor who moved like a wraith himself, a meticulous calculation to each movement he made. Not a total far cry from his gangster counterpart but the speech patterns and accents were totally different, and there was a fidgety, almost giddy sort of enigma to Riptide's movements; the movements of an intelligent beast that could not bear the thought of not having something to do ...or study. And study her he did. Her fur was grey and silver though if this was natural or from age he could not presently tell. She did not bear the supple beauty of a young woman but her blue-brown eyes held an experience that one would not find in the depths of a young creature's eyes. Her foot appeared to be stuck between a root and the ground and she did not strike the witch doctor as shy given that she made her demands.

For a moment, there was a slight rise to his brow and a soft snort as he set his bark down at his paws. “Eat you,” Riptide scoffed at her though it was admittedly less to her and more of him speaking to himself. “Now that would be just an awful waste,” The Sea had not demanded a sacrifice, nor did she commit any wrong to him, thus, he saw no need to resort to such extremes. He moved closer with a brindled excitement in his step, fascination in his fiery gaze, lowering his head as he moved to stand before her to inspect the root and her paw. “How did this happen?” He asked with unbidden curiosity, lacking the articulate politeness of his gangster counterpart. His tone was nothing short of professional and amiable but he was hardly so concerned with manners. He had a job to do and she needed his assistance.

Granted, she was not a wolf beneath the Sea King's rule but it was in his best interest and advantage to assist her nevertheless.
