A dying scream suddenly pierced the forest's eerie veil, forcing Kila to an abrupt stop, her eyes going wide and her head aggressively jerking up as alarm blossomed in the back of her skull and poured down her spine like a waterfall. There she paused with her feet firmly rooted to the earth- one second, five, ten, ears swiveling and nostrils rapidly flaring in search of any more warnings. What... was that? And more importantly, what caused that? It sounded... too high pitched to be a wolf... at least, not a full grown one; Thalassa forbid that having been the sound of dying child she just heard...
She narrowed her gaze to lime slits, weighing her options. Anyone else might have heard something like that and decide to turn around, nope the hell out of there, especially if they had the images of demonic spirits floating around in their head like Kila did... but this pirate lass was not so inclined, instead opting to proceed forward with caution and the hopes of maintaining some level of stealth as she smoothly crept through the forest's darker shadows. She had her fears, yes, but she didn't like being held back by them, forbade from going certain places merely because she suspected the presence of something that might not even be there. To even consider turning around or bowing to some stupid spirits was cowardly, the voice of her late father mentally roared in her ears, and Gallaghers are no cowards! Though she rolled her eyes to Finnian's image, she also couldn't help but inwardly agree... so on she went, warily creeping towards the source of the shriek, aiming to only near it and catch a glimpse, not take it on. She was bold, not stupid.
From shadow to shadow she went until finally, after slinking around a tree and settling into the concealing vegetation at its base, she saw the perpetrator, and after taking a moment to process just what she was seeing, the she-wolf couldn't help but crack a smile and quietly scoff.
A girl was what graced her presence, one of silvered fur, evident even in such low lighting, and eyes of bronze. She stood poised over the recently murdered carcass of a fox—what Kila assumed to be the source of that scream—and from what the russet youth could tell so far, no one else was around to indicate otherwise, meaning this was all that had been lurking in the dark. No demons, no ghouls, just this. It was amusing to her, to say the least, and she breathed a faint sigh of relief.
"A fine catch, lass," he casually called out to her, raising to his full height and emerging from the shrubbery, a grin plastered on his face and his eyes coolly half-lidded.
"This a habit 'o yers, killin' things in th' dead o' night?" Though his body language was relaxed and unthreatening, he knew his sudden appearance from the shadows was more than enough cause for alarm, so he kept a respectful distance... not to mention the fact he had no way of knowing whether or not she killed this thing for hunting practice/self defense, or out of sadistic desire.

Killian is a female that presents herself as a male via having a boyish figure/voice and by covering her scent. She/her and he/him pronouns will be used interchangably depending on circumstance. Your wolf shouldn't know the truth unless she tells them, she is in heat, or they are very close and can smell the truth even through her masking. Typically, I will signal in posts if she's doing something that might give it away.
