Rosewater Oasis the palatine has all but fallen now,

Wolf. She smelled him before she saw him, and slowed down a bit, wondering if this one would be friend or foe. Oh, what she would give to make her bigger cousins always friendly toward her. Hmm…

She saw him now, up ahead and still aways away, his head dipped toward the water, drinking. Hello, there, she called, just loudly enough for him to hear, not wishing to startle the wolf. Not until she had gotten the measure of him. She kept her tail at a slow wag, her face friendly, but her eyes wary. Would it be a game of cat and mouse, she wondered. Only one way to find out, yes?
