Broken Boulder fortune, fortune, smiling fate

The she-wolf approached him, as she did so his head dipped low, hackles raised. Although no words of warning left his lips, and no teeth were bared, anybody with half a brain could see he did not appreciate her invading his space.

The coydog stepped back, but she only pressed forward further. This time, he snapped at the air in front of him, giving the chilling scream-bark that coyotes were known for as he backed up. Sakina much preferred there be distance between them. 

Still, she seemed non-threatening enough, and his bark had only been a warning. There was no need for him to be impolite, mother had taught the boy better than that. "I do not know. Dog, partly. The others of my fathers kind is often shot by the thunder-hand. I am named Sakina." Still watching her carefully, he dipped his head in a greeting. "You are moonlight wolf with the blood eyes. I do not need to know more than that."
