Sequoia Coast clocks and calendars don't work in night vale

When the chuff first reaches her ears, she doesn’t think much of it. The sounds of the waves are loud enough to muffle any outside noise and engulf it into its own. After a few seconds, and a slight shift in wind, she notes the feeling of someone else around her. Slowly, Furi turns her head to look over her shoulder to see another wolf. She’s young but unfamiliar and her whole form stiffens, discovering she all of a sudden has more questions than before. How long has the other been there? And why? She narrows her eyes a little but remains silent, looking her over in the pale moonlight.
 
“Hey,” she finally decides to say after a moment, though she makes no other move for invite. It’s the best thing she can come up with and her cheeks turn warm with embarrassment. Real creative. Furi averts her gaze a little for a few seconds to gather herself but she returns it, shifting her weight so that she’s facing the stranger rather than awkwardly looking over her shoulder.
