Phantom Hollow silverkiss

Something moved along the water's edge. Reyes almost let it go without a second thought when his gaze happened across the figure of a girl; at first he saw her diminutive physique and thought coyote, which brought an inquisitive flicker of life to his eyes.

She could have been one. Her coloration, lost for a second among the backdrop of trees, was strikingly similar. Even with such a reedy conformation she was larger than any coyote Reyes had ever seen.

That and, she moved as if afraid.

Don't have to leave. he called out to her once she was standing. The lackluster quality of his voice gave some clue to his disinterest. 

Not like anyone lives here. Except me, I guess. Reyes, alone, doing a very good Eeyore impression.
