Opportunities abound

Dash was a little caught off guard. First, my her laugh, then by her smile. He had never had a wolf be so nice to him. It was almost hypnotizing. He was brought back to reality when she said they would be moving soon. Without thinking, he asked, "Why are you moving?" He wasn't generally so forward with wolves. To him, if it was his business, they would tel him without him asking. But, she brought something out in him. A personality, maybe?

His cautious gaze moved from her back to the retreating crab when she questioned revenge. "Uhh, no... I think he won this round," he replied. Dash was not a vengeful wolf and just couldn't see spending the time tracking down the crab to kill it. "Besides," he added, looking back to Thistle, "I did try to sit on him." Dash figured they were even.

It seemed she hadn't been here for very long, but had experienced some changing of the weather. "Today's my first day in this area," he answered. "Are the winters very harsh here?" he asked. He thought he was pretty well north, figuring the weather would be difficult to handle, especially the colder months.
