A bartering we will go!

Kite and her siblings had been banned from the market for their first week of freedom from their birth-den. But the moment those doors were open to them, Kite had slipped through the doors with wide, curious eyes. She knew she was being watched. She could almost feel the eyes of the market security, and one of her fathers companions trailing her as she looked at the stalls. There were weapons, armour, and companions as well as trinkets and odds and ends for sale.

With her kitten companion on her back, she moved deeper through the market cave, eyes catching on something bright and shiny as the wind caught and moved it. So entranced, she didn’t see the other wolf. Not until she was already colliding with them. Her strange crystal-covered eyes widening in surprise at the suddenness of it. Her long, clumsy limbs tangled up in there. Her kitten let out a yowl of complaint “Sorry, sorry!” Kite said before she fully saw the other wolf. Another pup, like her, but one that wasn’t family!
