Moonlit Fjord

Rose padded out of the water, dipping her head low and crawling towards the spirit, her ears flat against her head and tail wagging. "Thank you for your kind words." She mumbled out through her mouthful she had almost forgotten about in her shyness of the spirit wolf. If a wolf could flush with embarrassment, the small black she wolf would be doing that now. Crawling into the edge of the fire, she laid down the clams and oysters and backed away, mumbling an apology for having spoke with her mouth full earlier. Casting her eyes reverently to the pebbles beneath her black paws, she finally spoke louder then a mumble. "I a-am honored to be in your p-presence." She stuttered out. "P-please, accept my o-offering. It is th-the best a mere mor-mortal l-like me can offer." She licked her lips and decided now would be a good time to shut up. She hoped this messenger of the moon goddess, as she believed Aurielle to be, was a benevolent spirit and wouldn't strike her dead for stammering.
