Deceit, at its Best

Fin had just turned to go when a deep voice suddenly disrupted the silence, causing her to start violently. "HOLY--" she barked as she spun to face the hulking wolf that had emerged from the darkness. She stared wide-eyed at him for only a moment before regaining her composure by releasing the breath that had caught in her throat. "My god, you scared the hell out of me," she gasped, shaking herself to relieve the remaining tension that had seized her at his sudden appearance.

Finley gave the man an appraising look, wondering at how to respond to his offer of help. "That's nice of you.. giant, creepy dude..." she started slowly, a thin smile flickering across her lips, "But I think I'm good..." As she spoke, she was slowly backpedaling away from him. Maybe it was the dark, ominous forest that surrounded them, but this encounter was seeming a little too beginning-of-a-ghost-story-esque for her liking.

"I was really just.. admiring the trees.. is all.... Lovely place you've got here!" Why, oh why, was she still talking?
