When your dreams all fail

He landed from his leap, the warped grin stretched across his lips. Greedy eyes drank in her reaction voraciously, his spine tingling with joy. He let out a giggle, throwing his head back before it swung down between his forelegs, and the giggle escalated to a harsher cackle. The sound died the instant the she wolf gathered herself to question him. He perked again, his right ear standing erect while the shredded left strained to match. His muzzle lifted, pointed towards the woman, still adorned with the devilish yet somehow innocent smile. ?Fun!? he squeaked plainly, his tail swaying slightly with pleasure.
A few skittering hops took him to the left in the slightest of arcs, aiming to edge a little nearer to the woman. Wide blue eyes traced her form, assessing with a ghostly and unreadable stare. She was larger than he, with pale fur and bright purple eyes. Like amethyst gems. He?d always wanted a pair of pretty eyes to keep for himself. He wondered if they rotted away like flesh did, or stayed like bone. The gremlin?s tongue swiped along his lips, seeming a nervous habit though he was anything but nervous. ?What?s she doing here? Is she alone?? he asked, his tone choppy and curious. A second after questioning, he thought over his second question and burst out laughing again. Of course she wasn?t alone! He was here now!
