Aw ship...

Clothed hooves landed softly on the frozen ground. The ship loomed above, daunting, cold, as if daring her to stay away. Each step was taken with precaution. Each step tapped out to test the ground before landing fully. Each step taken with a baited breath. She was focused, only the chitter of her monkey drawing her attention to the small black wolf eyeing her. She froze, as if a part of the ship. This wolf was not barking, not wagging its tail. Its eyes leveled with her, its face devoid of emotion- a hunter's mask.

Luminosa tried to push the feeling away. She didn't need to think herself the victim. She flicked her tail as if to try to break the spell that held her, using that small amount of strength to bring in a deep breath.

"Am I in your way?" she managed to wheeze out, still sounding somewhat pleasant. She clicked her back hoof, not a full stamp. It was a habit- a deer telling other deer there was a potential problem. But here there was no herd to warn, no one to come to her defense if the wolf sprang on her.

She steeled herself, shutting her eyes for a hard moment to break eye contact. It was unthinkable in the situation for an herbivore to shutout the sight of a predator so near. "My name is Luminosa," she managed on choked breath as she once again opened her eyes, praying the wolf was just as stunned as she was.
