Swiftcurrent Creek welcome home

As the wolf's scent became stronger, Katya spotted him a few dozen yards away--a smudge of charcoal nearly indistinguishable from the slate-colored rocks that lined the creek. She drew closer, and she realized just how massive he was in size, even from afar. Subconsciously lifting her chin and straightening her posture, she halted at a comfortable distance.

She emitted a low whuff to greet the stranger, her tail wagging slowly. "Hello." She fixed her gaze on him, afraid she might lose his form within their surroundings if she didn't focus on his two separately-hued eyes, which stood out from the rest of his body.
