Arrow Lake Travel Vlog Day 43: Update- This Sucks

Standing slowly as not to alarm the onlooker, the tall wolf craned her neck to look around the stranger for hidden enemies. She didn't see anything... Grackle squinted at the wolf momentarily, an attempt at insight. It didn't seem like she was lying? There was something perhaps... mischievous to their countenance, but not deceitful. Either way, she wouldn't let down her guard just yet.

Getting a better look at this wolf now, they could almost have been sisters. Minus Grackle's lumbering size, and lack of white spotting, the two looked eerily similar, even down to the unblinking, marble like eyes. Is this what other wolves felt like when she looked at them? There was something unnerving about the stranger's wide gaze that made her pelt feel hot, and begged her to look away. 

With an uneasy flick of her tail, Grackle took a slow, testing step toward the shore. She would be sure to stay well out of lunging range, although, something told her it wouldn't be a physical fight she would have to worry about with this one.

My name is Grackle.  She said as she planted her last paw firmly back onto dry land, and gave her fluffy pelt a good shake. Please forgive me for not knowing the proper way to introduce myself, I only arrived in these lands a few days ago, Grackle said with an embarrassed smile. You're the first wolf I've met since I've arrived. She sat down as to be closer to the small stranger's height, wrapping her tail neatly around her paws.
