a thousand teeth, and yours among them

hi!

No sooner had Caiaphas' flippant voice truncated the wind did the monolith of a wolf recede from her vision. Indignant, Caiaphas pulled behind a large slab of stone and reappeared moments later at an animated trot, as if to hunt down the wolf who had just spurned her.

She had only taken several steps before the scent of a packwolf assimilated her nostrils -- a thin, angular ear swept to the side as she stopped mid-stride and looked about her. She had not expected the fold to be rife with wolves -- certainly not of the pack type. She inspected the agouti wolf carefully, sensing that there seemed some sort of resentment tinging those wicked yellow eyes. Curiously, the gaunt creature smoothly sat on her haunches with her comically large ears pulled forward in interest. She would await the wolf's move, if any -- and despite how abject and unthrifty Caiaphas' rangy form seemed, there swelled about her an electric energy of malice as she bravely and boldly returned Cara's gaze.
