Even though he didn't recognize the wolf who appeared along the borderline, Caracal waved his tail. He stood still, letting her approach, ducking his head as she came closer. When he sneaked a peek upward through his eyelashes to get a glimpse of her up close, his breath caught in his throat. Forgetting decorum for a moment, he whipped the rest of his head upward to goggle at the disfigured half of her face.

I'm Caracal. I was looking for my dad, sister or Bridget, if any of them are around." He paused, then couldn't help but wonder, "Are you... okay?" Tentatively, his eyes raised again, trying to ascertain her wound without being rude about it.
