Ankyra Sound Tidechaser

The sea drowned out any of Chacal's approach until she was extremely close... and the sand aided it, removing any vibrations she might have felt on firmer ground.  As a result, when the girl whipped past her, Fennec whirled and took a snap at her before instinctively crouching. Her ears flattened and she bared her teeth defensively at the space where she imagined the wolf might be in.  All the while her heart thudded fearfully;  Fennec's flight or fight response was an extremely biased instinct, especially when it came to unfamiliar ground.  Running from anything here would be a death sentence.

The girl's chuff was the first clue she might have been mistaken, but she didn't drop her guard just yet.  Instead she took a step back and let out a small warning growl.  It had been a long time since Fennec had been scared that suddenly and that badly by someone.  She wasn't sure she trusted that the wolf came in peace just yet, especially when (from Fennec's vantage) they'd just rushed her like that.
