Silence

Had it not been for the little bird alerting him of another’s approach, Khranbari probably wouldn’t have noticed the figure walking towards then. His body shifted just the slightest. Gaze locking on the small wolf. Her grey and blonde coat littered with scars catching most of his attention. Her words reaching his ears effortlessly with such little distance between them. He tilted his head in question. Body moving like a snake. Easing through the thicket of bushes shielding him from sight. Or, so he thought. Paws silent with each step taken. So focused on the woman before him, Khran didn’t realize the little bird took refuge on top of his left shoulder. Its nails digging for support to not be knocked off causing a low growl to leave his throat. The small creature only tilting its head and blinking.

Khran could only shake his head. Staring blankly at the other with a look of tiny interest. What had brought him here? Was it the boredom which seeped through day by day? Perhaps it was the silent voices of his subconscious to not be found by his old home. If he were, surely they'd have his head. The memory of his parents slaughtered bodies flashing. Blood pouring from torn throats and open wounds. His tongue slipped out to lick at dried lips. A hunger aching just below the pit of his stomach as he thought of eating the small bird.

So lost in his own narative, he did not know how close he became to the female. Her body reeked of dominance. Something about her intrigued him and yet irritated him all in one. "Recruit." A simple word that could be lead in many directions. Khran silently wondered which path she would take.

"Speech"
