Glow up

He seemed to be taking the bait just fine, the poor guy. Really, she was probably a bad wolf for doing this to one so young, but their world required their youth to be smart and distrusting from a young age. Very few wolves meant good, she was no exception, and besides, he probably wouldn’t die from licking one little crystal...she was pretty sure.

“Hmm...I’m not quite sure. But, I have an idea. I’ll feel a lot braver if we try them together, how does that sound?” she asked, schooling her expression into one that was hopeful. She quickly moved to a section of crystal before he could respond, breaking off two pieces which glowed extra bright then returned to normal as she did. She placed one in front of him and one in front of her, giving herself an exaggerated wiggle in mock excitement. Then, she leaned down her head hovering over the crystal as she looked over at him. “Ready?” she asked. Should he agree, all he would see was what looked to be her licking the crystal, her head angled in a way that just showed the top of her muzzle and her head moving back and forth in a manner that mimicked licking. But, she wouldn’t actually. She wasn’t that stupid.
