Hard days made me

When the boy didn't shift at all, Saffron glanced up, her silver, blue-flecked eyes scanning their surroundings. The rocky peaks provided little shelter, at least nothing that would be considered cozy for someone who looked very hungry and very cold. As she was trying to locate some form of shelter, it was then that she spotted something very large making its way toward her and the boy she'd stumbled upon. Through the falling snow, she wondered if it was a bear. She wasn't normally a fearful girl, but she really doubted her ability to fight off such a large enemy. She glanced uncomfortably to the boy at her feet. Was she supposed to just leave him? She might have to; what else could she do if he couldn't stand up and run by himself?

As the behemoth moved closer, it became apparent that it was indeed just a very, very large wolf, a dire. Oh great... did he live here? Were they trespassing? Saffron lowered herself, gray ears flattening against her skull while her silver eyes narrowed and stared at the giant coming ever closer. Her muzzle began to wrinkle defensively, revealing unstained, bright white fangs. However, he didn't seem very threatening at all as he moved toward the boy on the ground, dropping his clearly fresh kill. Wait, was this guy here to help them? Saffron couldn't help but to feel suspicious, unwilling to trust the adult, but she couldn't resist the meal offered. She might as well take advantage of it while she could.

She perked her ears when the man spoke, blinking in slight confusion at his odd way of speaking, but it was still easy enough to understand. She nodded to him and went to the fresh kill, settling down near it as she began to eat, glancing to the large male, then to the boy on the ground. She wondered if he was ever going to get up. She swallowed a bite and lifted her head when the man asked for their names. "I'm Saffron," she stated, then shrugged in the direction of the boy, "I've never met him before." She bent down toward the fawn once more and continued to eat, her eyes ever watching her surroundings.
