As she had approached, the way the giant creature had pawed at the ground was lost on the excited wolf. It is not until Meadow is close to the beast that she thinks that act might have been a warning sign. Wide eyes trace the animal’s form, taking in every inch of the obsidian pelt that ripples with muscles. The gray that seems to sprout from its neck, butt and legs reminds the small wolf of the clouds that had rolled in the prior afternoon. It is huge and imposing.

All this lends to the air of shock and awe that has fallen over Meadow along with the fear that he might sit on her. However, the real shock comes when the being opens its mouth and talks. It can speak! Real, actual words that she can understand! Her jaw feels like it unhinges at the way it quickly drops open. Although the words are infused with a thick accent (properly Nordic the more she thinks about it) and seems to be a deep growl, the small wolf can understand the words perfectly.

Goliath Ymir. A name. His name. Everything is taking so long to register in her mind that Meadow doesn’t even know how long she stands there, mouth agape at Goliath. Pulling herself out of the trance she has been in, the small wolf snaps her mouth shut quickly and an audible ‘click’ can be heard. Clearing her throat, speaking slowly and clearly instead of at her usual fevered clip, Meadow says, “Hello Goliath. I am sorry that I approached you in such a strange way. I have been out exploring and cataloging all the species I see and… well… I have never seen anything like you before.”

Wide, fascinated eyes find his silver ones and she adds, “So I wanted to watch what you do, how you act. I did not know you could speak. I am very sorry if I startled you.” An apologetic look crosses her features at the last statement and she ducks her head slightly in embarrassment. After a small pause, the wolf asks, “Goliath, can I ask... what exactly… are you?” Head leans to one side as a look of curiosity rests on her face. Her head no longer is ducked and ears are perked high as she listens to the tall creature.
