Sly Fox Sand Dunes [m]e and you and awkward silence

S'ari threw her head back a little in surprise at the wolf's words, then a grin split her face, and her tail wagged harder. S'ari thinks this one looks fairly dazzling already, she flirted back, and then began to pick her way carefully down the side of the dune. Now was not the time to loose her footing and come tumbling down. Even a flirtatious wolf could be dangerous and she needed to keep her wits about her.

Now the question was to tell the truth or not... To let him know he was close to a feisty pack of coyotes who mistrusted wolves, or to simply lead him away... She knew there was an oasis a few miles away, but that would only bring him closer to the ravine. This one is a long way into the desert, she said, deciding. The way out is far to the west, S'ari is afraid to say. There is a mountain pass there, leading to much greener land. She eyed the wolf to see if he even wanted to leave this place.
