Blacktail Deer Plateau planetary

It took him a beat to catch her drift. Sirius watched her dumbly for a fraction too long, and then when it clicked that she had implied his dismissal, he felt like he'd been dunked in icy water. This was a wolf not looking for him, and in the absence of necessity his presence simply repulsed her. He didn't yet understand that his fears would no longer come off as "scared, little boy," but now read something more like "shifty, suspicious creep" without any pretext to his manners. He wasn't a wolf that still need caring for, and he didn't know that he had wanted anyone's help (not just Olive's) until he had been rejected from the option without even asking.

Crushed, and partial to fleeing anyway, Sirius turned tail and broke into a sprint, taking the most direct route out of the she-wolf's sight— and away from her borders— as quickly as he could.
