Of course, the pup who emerged was a little girl.

Penn had to work very hard to hold himself together at the sight of her. In his mind flashed the memory of Druid (who he knew as Penn) on the beach, casually speaking to him as though he were any other random wolf on the planet. Which he was to her, of course. But he knew better. He knew better, and it had haunted his every step ever since.

She had once been as small as this one. Had she also had the same curious, innocent stare? Would her eyes have lit up at the sight of the seed pods like those little girl's did? What would her little howl have sounded like?

Outwardly, Penn showed none of his inner turmoil other than the shine of his eyes. He lowered himself fully to the ground then to appear less threatening, his tail sweeping across the ground behind him.

"Awwooo?" Penn said softly again through a gentle smile.
