"Hm..yeah. That's one, two, three, four..."
My maw mouthed the rest of my count as reddish-orange optics lazily scanned the underside of the metal piece that I was lying beneath. I had gotten most of the metallic strings that had been dangling - the rest were just out of reach. Flipping hole... my shoulders couldn't fit through and that was the only reason. I groaned and turned to look left and right. The rest was bare... I guess I was done here. With a grunt, I began shimmying from my position on my back to my side when I heard a bird making a sound from the skies above. Did it sound like a crow? Hm. I decided to discard the information figuring some bird had found it's breakfast and continued backing my way out of the structure. Absentmindedly, I looked around for my little makeshift satchel before I began to feel the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. You know that feeling where you know you're alone but you could just feel the notion of something or some -
Woah. The low baritone sound echoed through my skull and I felt like, for a brief moment, I was a kid in trouble.
My breathing hitched and I felt my heart sink to my gut out of pure surprise.
My head snapped to my left and I found myself standing between another male wolf and a hard place. Slowly, my paws turned and I positioned myself cautiously to face the voice head-on and that's when I realized another figure circling to my right. Eyes flitted from one being to the other and that's when it dawned on me... the fucking crow. Ugh. I should have been more attentive...
Apart of me wanted to facepaw, another part told me not to move. Mmmph, why didn't I just keep walk- No. That find was worth every moment. My barrel chest expanded as I took in a slow deep inhale. My focus settled back on the larger black male, taking in his stance. Hey hey now... why the tension? The stance, the voice, I could have laughed or pee'd a little on the thought of how eerily similar he sounded like...
"Sir, just scouting Sir."
I barked in corporal fashion while sitting down to aid in giving off my position to not be a threat, and hopefully appease his rigidity. My back straightened up and my ears stood up straight. This guy looked like he wasn't playing any games today. My eyes stared forward at his form, but not his own gaze. Hm. One... Eyes to the right. Two... My gaze flitted up before lowering back down. Three... Three? Was that necessary for one wolf? "I - Well."
I cleared my throat and lifted my head up slightly for...confidence? Sure, lets go with that. "I..."
Let's go Ciel, cut the shit. "These lands are not marked, Sir."
Honestly, atleast THIS part wasn't.So what's the deal Sir 'I need bodyguards because I'm clearly not fucking big enough'.
My knapsack was off to the left and behind me - I could feel it with my tail. Using it, I tried curling my tail around it to scoot it closer to my body. I felt my nose twitch subtly as the wind shifted slightly more in my favor. I wasn't close enough to get enough information...that bothered me. I leaned forward an inch to try and get a better sniff but... nope. Nothing but the touches of his musk along with, no there was something else. Other, beings? Smells? Fuck, I really couldn't get a good read. I groaned lightly to myself and settled back down into place, feeling a tinge of defeat.
