Blackfoot Forest after

Falwasi let out a soft laugh at Bazi's remark on the foxes. She never had a problem with the smell. Her smile faded and she stiffened as the alpha asked the next question. She knows. the long-limbed wolf thought, watching Bazi for any sign of suspicion. None - just genuineness, enough to let Fal relax.

She watched the plush white wolf closely. 'I grew up on a mountain; there were very steep hills with many tall trees - but they weren't as full as these so they let in a lot of sunlight. she said, smiling slightly as she remembered trekking up to the top of the mountain. 'I came here because... well, it was the nearest place.' she finished.

Fal settled her copper eyes on Bazi's blue ones 'Why are you here?' she asked, tilting an eyebrow up. She hoped Bazi had been in the forest before her encounter with the lone wolf.
