Moonlight and roses

From the shadows emerged a demon...no. Meldresi pushed the superstitious nonsense out of her head. It was only a wolf. A large male, dark brown fur split where scars lay in his skin, especially upon his face. His ears were tattered flags waving above his worried, troubled eyes. She could clearly see his inner state. No training was required to see the pain that he once felt. She smiled softly to him, saying "Hello." gently, all of her normal sultriness gone for the moment.
