Duskfire Glacier and the prey always believe

The other woman turned, and Lane was met with a very unexpected sight. 

She had not known pack wolves to be in any way tolerant or accepting, and yet here was a creature who seemed born to be excluded-- not quite wolf, and not quite dog. Lane hardly knew what to make of it all. She took a few steps forward, sniffing the air to determine that the stranger was in fact a member of Duskfire Glacier. It was lost on Lane that the wolfdog was doing the same to her. 

Well. She seemed nice enough, Lane supposed. Perhaps her presence indicated a more open-minded attitude within Duskfire Glacier, which would be a nice change of pace. Lane didn't do well with strict. 

"Uh.. hi." In her surprise, she had forgotten what exactly she'd intended to say. "Uh.. so.." Oh yeah! "I was looking for a caregiver. I heard there were a bunch here." She wagged her tail in a friendly way, hoping to make up for any previous indications of surprise she might have accidentally expressed. "Not 'cause I'm sick or anything! I just want to help. And learn. That kind of thing." She shrugged, trying not to come across too awkwardly.
