The Heartwood Heartwood Snacking

As the she-wolf stepped closer, Koda studied her, trying not to be super obvious. There was something very different about her, something he'd never seen before. He'd been too distracted by her dirty coat to notice before: her eyes were red, like a pair of rubies. "Oh wow, your eyes, they're beautiful," he said, a note of surprise in his voice. "I guess that's why they call you Scarlett, huh?"

Koda let the subject slide, not wanting the she-wolf to get uncomfortable. He realized she probably heard comments about her unique eye color pretty often. "I just don't like to see anyone go hungry," he said with a kind smile. Her observation was correct, however, Koda tended to be a friendly wolf. There wasn't much he wouldn't do to help someone, even a complete stranger.

He gestured for Scarlett to follow as he started to search for signs of prey. "So, what pack did you join?" He asked her as they walked. He wasn't at all familiar with the scent she carried on her fur. "I came here not long ago myself, and joined the Blacktail Deer Plateau."
