end of infinity

Oh snap! Someone was there, all of the sudden. The wind was too loud, the young babe was not good at hearing everything yet. Whirling around, all four paws unsteady beneath her, she tried to look fierce. Not afraid. Nope. She remembered what Da had said about strangers being dangerous. Can't trust everyone, apparently. How weird was that? Mismatched eyes flew open wide, marvelling at the beautiful lady before her. Not as pretty as mama- no one was prettier than her. But... wowser. "You pretty." Her stunted, heavily accented voice announced without any ounce of shame or fear. It was true! Red was a new colour to her, on a wolf. No one in her family was red.

Wait, the lady had said something. "Should you be out here on your own?" she had asked. The youth looked around, stumbling when the wind tried to sweep her away. "Umm..." Was she supposed to be here? Well, Da hadn't told her not to come here. He generally didn't mind her wandering away from home, to explore. Forfax got to do it, after all. She glanced behind her, at the massive gorge. "Yah." She finally said, bobbing her head vigorously.

"You supposed to be?" Was her next question, wondering if the lady had parents telling her what to do. Delicate crown cocked to one side, curious.
