Stone Circle If I told you this was only going to hurt

Before long, there came a voice and Calloon froze in place. He didn't recognize it - nor the small woman that came for him only moments after. He could not tell what she was, but he noticed that she was not quite a wolf - much like his other mute friend. Only, this woman was not mute - far from it. He visibly shrunk, ears draping over his skull that had become a sort of invisibility cloak for him. Yes, she had been friendly, but Calloon was pretty sceptic - even if he did not see himself as such.

He nodded gently in greeting, letting out a small "woof" to accompany. He did not say a word or move a muscle afterward - toes wiggling under the snow in both nervousness and excitement.
