Ultraviolet was a clever creature and intuited the wolf's fascination even before she began asking questions.

"Not to be confused with a blue jay," she added with an almost indignant shiver of her tail feathers. It was clear by her tone that she looked down on her lesser cousins.

"My name is UV. That's short for Ultraviolet! What's yours? What kind of wolf are you?" she chirped, her crest fluttering forward and then smoothing back as if it had a life of its own.
