A new face

Kotori’s brows arched a bit at the wolf jumping so close to her wary attitude toward him.  Not the friendly sort it seemed.  Was she just defensive due to her injury or was this her normal disposition?  Kotori watched the wolf as her expression shifted across her face.  “I have no interest in attacking an already injured wolf unless given a reason.”  The words were calmly stated in case it helped her feel better.

“As to why I’m asking, you are near my pack land.  There are healers in my pack and if you wanted I’m sure one could take a look at your injuries.  I’m keener to help out fighters over cowards so I wanted to make sure you hadn’t simply fled from a battle.” Kotori was curious, albeit mildly, to see if the information of his nearby pack influenced her behavior at all.

Kotori nodded up and to the north, “My pack, Valta is north of here.  We claim the sunset falls as well as the rapids just beyond it.”  She wasn’t in his pack land, she was free to roam but an injured wolf close enough to his land seemed perfectly worthy of Kotori’s interest.
