Spotted Eagle Mountain orod

no baring of teeth, no threaning motion.

just a вук, confused. 

not familiar with her species.

she snorted, now aware. she was foreign. чудна. the animal was curios, uncertain. is this prey, competition or danger? she imagined it asked itself. 

this eased the sternness from her features. 

this calmed the heart to an acceptable rhythm.

her new goal was to present a fourth option.

"no-" words ran trough her mind, translated, defined. "no hah-lp."

slowly, she rose, clumps of snow rolling off her. head low, eyes on a spot on the animal's chest, avoiding its gaze.

"ai no nid hah-lp." monotonous, languid, compensating for pronunciation. "bat... yu?"

slight turn. her chiseled muzzle encompassed the hollow that was this вук's home.

"yu nid hah-lp? for vint'r?"
