Horizon Ridge the top of the world

Fin liked this kid. He could be kind of a moody little ass, but he had plenty of redeeming qualities that actually made the former rather endearing. She made a mental note to actually get his real name at some point. She would also have to share her own with him, even though she was yet unaware that he was still internally referring to her as 'Barf Face'.

The pair crept forward until they could actually see the hulking beast in the dark depths of the cave. Fin felt excitement bursting in her chest, and she turned to share an eager glance with her smaller companion only to see him staring, wide-eyed at their quarry. The look on his face made her pause - it seemed to Fin to be a look somewhere between awe and fear. Which one was the stronger of the emotions, she couldn't tell, but it made her better sense finally catch up to her.

What in god's name was she doing???? HE WAS SO SMALL.

Fear needn't have taken the younger wolf, for suddenly Fin was so gripped with it that she froze in place, just staring at him with wide eyes and a slightly slackened jaw. She was going to get him killed. Just as she'd almost gotten Lasher killed those months ago. Had she not learned her lesson then?? A particularly loud snort from the bear managed to shake Fin of her paralysis, and slowly she made up her mind. "Hey.. Come on," she whispered to Charon, giving him a hard nudge on his shoulder and then turning to move away, back into the forest. She glanced back at him, hoping that he would just follow her lead like a good little boy.
