Sequoia Coast an only child of the universe

Sometime shortly after catching sight of the male, it dawned on her that he was following her. The girl quickened her footsteps, unsure of how to proceed, and fairly certain a silent wolf following you could not have good intentions. Her spine was ramrod straight with tension, and it was only after she thought what would Heda do that she made a move, whirling swiftly and facing the stranger, even going as far as to take a step in his direction. Her tail curled up behind her and her ears pressed forward in a display of false courage that ranged into near-hostility,  heart quickening.

Her paws sank into the supple snow as she finally spoke, words a little steadier than she expected and yet still faltering in the slightest. "what do you want?" Surely a display like the one she attempted to put on would put off a wolf with dark intent, or at least have the stranger speak up.
