Blackfoot Forest [m] what does the fox say?

As comfortable as she was getting with Gun’s gruesome appearance, Javelina didn’t want her touching her. She sidestepped, instinctively shielding her vulnerability. She had the presence of mind to offer Gun a slightly apologetic smile, even though she wasn’t very sorry.

It took her a moment to parse the dog’s words, then she replied, I think there might be one living in the hollow next door, with a flick of her tail.

She didn’t mention Fiona or her warnings. Nor did she say anything about Glaukos. Gun was an interesting beast, to be sure, but her differences bred mistrust in the she-wolf. And now that the novelty of this encounter began to wear on her, she quietly hoped Gun might take the lead and go.
