I am a Shadow on the Wall

A soft cry of a vulture echoed across the open space of the sands, the darkness making it difficult for Aralanne to locate the bird save for when it flew in the moonlight. Interesting, she thought idly. For her, vultures were signs of death and decay. They fed on leftovers, which meant that there must be a carcass nearby. That would be a good find, her food has been mainly critters lately. She was never a great hunter, especially living as a rogue.

However, such ponderings were pushed aside for now. Her attention was directed to the approaching behemoth. The closer he got, the better she could see him. His features were outstanding: the last detail she noticed were two sharp elongated fangs. Fascinating! She's never seen anything like that. For a few seconds she forgot about the danger that this man possessed, in complete awe of this abnormality. It was fully possible that these fangs were normal around this region and that it was only abnormal in her eyes. Aralanne paused in front of the dark wolf, staring towards the elongated teeth. When he spoke, she moved her blue eyes to meet his. "Ah, yes.. I am." She said distracted, then gazed back at his muzzle. "I apologize, sir! But your fangs.. they.. they're fascinating." The girl breathes out the words as if to express her admiration. Was it possible that he is a completely different species to her? In the dark you couldn't quite tell. She cocks her head to one side as if to check if he has the same tail as her. What if his tail was that of a feline? Now that would be a definite sign that he is something between a wolf and a cat!
