Amidst the Crash of Worlds

The peculiar woman sat like she was caught between two unrelenting forces, half wanting to flee and half wanting to stay. She was so conflicted, so vulnerable, so bold and timid at the same time. Sitka watched her curiously while she seemed to mull over something in her head. Finally, she spoke, her voice just barely audible over the sound of the river. The dire brute's ears pricked atop his crown, looking at her with confused eyes. She wanted to be taught how to be brave? The amused smile came back to Sitka's face and he gave a barking laugh. "Do I look like I'd be a good teacher, girl? You just watched me sail someone down the river and you want to spend even more time with me?" He laughed again, starting to trudge his way up the bank away from the river, coming to walk right past her.

"I will give you one thing," he began with that devilish smile he wore so well. "You've got the first part of bravery down pat: stupidity. Everyone brave is also undeniably stupid." Yep, he included himself in that grouping too. He stepped past the smaller girl, but couldn't get her request out of his head."Why do you want me to teach you to be brave?" he asked with a sigh of resignation, looking back at her again with prying silver-blue eyes. "Why not get one of the pack wolves I can smell on you to help you? What would you even do with bravery?" Of all the things wolves had asked and demanded of him, this was by far the strangest request he'd ever gotten. Who was this skittish little wolf and who was she trying to impress?
