Her focus, her total sense of solitude was shattered. All by a playful bark, directed only at her, for there was nobody else around. Keyni's head shot up as she jolted slightly, looking left and right. Only when the thrumming of her heart slowed, did her eyes steadily trail to land on the figure of the stranger.

The similarities between them were startling, save for his slightly darker coat and lighter eyes. Once she was a simple stride away, did her expression break, morphing into one of a gentle smile. Then away she bounded in a crescent leap, looking back at him over a pale shoulder eagerly.
