Neverwinter Forest Kama

She didn't expect what found her.
It was a dark-coated wolf. He looked rather like Eleuthera had, only darker. He had a similar litheness about him. Just as she had, he stood far away from her, but shouted nastily at her. Umi's ears fell a bit sideways, anxiety grabbing hold as the pack wolf yelled at her.

She pulled one of her paws up as if to step back, but as she did, another answered for her. At first, Umi was positive that it was Haruki. The wolf held the same white coat and had a similar smell about her. Umi's nose twitched and her eyes remained alert. This wolf was much bigger than the puppy she had met and held a distinctly feminine voice. There was a quiet about her.
Umi was confused.

I'm sorry, it's just, she said slowly, making sure to keep her distance. Her breathy voice didn't carry very well, so she had to practically yell at them. I was looking for someone I know. His name's H-Haruki, she said, staring at the young white wolf. She had been positive she had smelled the pup from the Empire. Perhaps her nose had been mistaken, and it was this similar-looking stranger that had left the trail.
