Dawnlark Plains fang and feeling

So accustomed to being unseen, either because of her own skill upon the snow or the lack of interest by those of Saatsine, it was humbling to be caught so swiftly, and with only a look. As soon as the stranger turned their head Sulukinak caught their eye with her's, even though she ducked down among the grasses, and she knew by the sound the stranger made - she had been seen, or heard, but caught regardless.

Now came a new choice: remain flat and pretend to hide, turn and flee, or confront.

She slunk forwards, her belly mere inches from the ground and her limbs tucked close, even with the crawl. She came slithering from the grass to witness the pale shape of - a woman? Only a woman. Her tail lashed with annoyance, but beyond that Sulukinak appeared alert, interested, and stared at the stranger as if in childish challenge.
