buzz off!

Carefully placing her paws between the tangle of herbs, Caora kept her eyes plastered to the ground. She'd noticed the tall rocks that bordered the area along with the all the dried out herbs browning the earth. She could be hard-pressed to find the marigold she wanted. Caora hadn't been looking long at all when the noise of someone approaching made her lift her head. A wolf was bouncing towards her and for a moment Caora was stunned. It had been a while since she'd met anyone else, never mind a female her own age. The wolf called out a greeting. "What're you looking for?"

Smiling, Caora took a step towards the she-wolf and noticed the lacerations on her grey fur. Had she been in a fight? They weren't bleeding or look to be infected to Caora let it go to answer her. "I'm just looking for some marigold flowers. I've got bug bites itching like mad. How 'bout you?" she replied with a grin.
