On the Long Way Down

His woof and hello were far beyond what was necessary to make his presence known to a wolf like her with her heightened hearing. She heard him behind her for a while now, the sound of his paws against the dry ground getting increasingly loud as he got closer. She wasn't necessarily nervous about the sudden appearance of a stranger, but there was a bit of caution that came as a needed response for someone who couldn't see and wasn't the best at defense. He obviously wasn't trying to sneak up on her either and his greeting was friendly in the most cheerful sense of the word.

Her ears perked at his woof and she turned around to face him just as he called out a cheerful hello. She subconsciously turned herself to face him by following his voice. It was a self correction she rarely thought about any more. She chuckled softly and replied, "Well, you're awfully chipper, aren't you?" Kalli smirked as she settled on her haunches. She kept her guard in place just in case, but she didn't feel like he'd be any kind of threat, at least not from his initial greetings. "What's gotten you so chipper today?" she asked, her voice holding its usual teasing tone even though she was actually a little bit curious. What was it that made other wolves so happy and where did she have to go to find some?
