Both of the girls were friendly and curious. Tall Shadow’s good rapport with them turned Moon Runner’s opinion of the salt wolves, and so her usual extroverted personality was permitted to shine. She wagged her tail and approached the Sapphiquians to take scent.
The diplomat shared a similar physique to Moon Runner: medium-sized and athletic. The deep sandstone color of her eyes was quite striking against her pale, dead-grass agouti pelt. It reminded Moon Runner of the sediment bands seen across the Rise.
Dry Creek, the spirit thought.
The other girl was smaller. Marginally younger. Her mottled pelt of auburn, sienna, and black reminded Moon Runner of marcescent leaves in autumn.
Oak Leaf, the spirit thought.
Simple names for their budding relationship.
Oak Leaf looked at Moon Runner inquisitively, but it was evident her unbroken gaze made the pale yearling uncomfortable. Moon Runner shook her furs and licked her nose – calming signals to deflect the intense scrutiny she felt. Moon Runner gave the masked girl a wide berth before she orbited back to Tall Shadow, who gave a supportive nudge. Her amber eyes assessed his expression but was surprised to find it soft. Apologetic.
Why? The spirit wondered.
She glanced her nose against his cheek – just close enough for her whiskers to graze him. She puffs a small breath, a friendly chuff, as if to say I am okay.
Then, Oak Leaf’s intensity redirected towards Tall Shadow. Though there is no hostility or aggression, Moon Runner couldn’t help but interpret it as a precursor to conflict. As Treow, caretaker, it was Moon Runner’s job to resolve friction and keep their well-oiled machine-of-a-pack running smoothly – just as it was Tall Shadow’s job to protect the Rise from threats.
Moon Runner stepped between Oak Leaf and Tall Shadow. She dipped into a bow, which turned into a looonngggg stretch. Then she smelled the ground in front of Oak Leaf, as if she found something interesting, to try and redirect her new cohort to help diffuse her energy.
