ooc: I'm so sorry about the wait.
Hollis followed the snowy wolf across lovely terrain. The young woman had traveled in her life, but she was sure her wandering paws had never brought her to this place. It was undoubtedly beautiful, the grass underfoot a lively green dotted by wildflowers, and the sharp peaks of the mountains rising in the distance.
He took her to the side of a glimmering brook and left her there, promising to return with food. Hollis nodded hesitantly but said nothing, watching his large figure disappear into the distance before drinking her fill. Once hydrated, she felt much better, and the prospect of a good meal took the edge off her gnawing anxiety.
She sprawled out on the grass by the water, and spent a moment rolling to and fro, enjoying the soft grass as it tickled and scratched various itches along her skin. Then, she lay down, kicking her back legs out behind her and resting her head between her paws.
As promised, my dear, the deep voice woke her from her twilight nap. Hollis blinked and lifted her head, nose twitching as it filled with the scent of deer blood.
"Oh my..." she spoke, awestruck by the size of the animal he had killed. "I thought you might bring back a few rabbits, turkeys maybe. Not an entire deer." Adult ungulates were difficult to kill alone, even with the advantage of size that Shard obviously possessed.
"I am impressed," she said, smiling as she stood, then brushing her muzzle underneath his, and across the thick white fur of his neck. His scent was even more intoxicating than that of the meal he had retrieved.
She approached the carcass, but looked at him with lowered ears, showing submission. It was a signal for him to eat first, if he wished. "You have done all the work."
