All That Glitters

Finally seeing that the bigger wolf wasn't trying to do anything, she felt her chest loosen, allowing her soothing oxygen. She picked herself up a little, her joints groaning in pain. She can skeletal frame creaking and rumbling.
Hotaru locks her eyes on the kind wolf, just below her head so as not to seem challenging. She allows herself to straighten her body out a small fraction, and lets her tail wag.
The wolf seemed intense, not in a bad way. But the excitement seemed to roll off of her in waves, and Hotaru couldn't help but respond to it in a fearful way. She blinks, trying to think clearly.
"My name is Hotaru." She says awkwardly, choking out the words. "It's nice to meet you. I haven't seen another wolf in a while."
Her limbs still quake, but no longer from fear. Chilling relief leaves her shaky and weak, as well as the cold and her thin body.
She felt the need to be as friendly as Aranya. She had no idea how to though. She decides to copy her, and take a slow, deliberate step closer. Since her grey acquaintance had come closer in an unintimidating manner, Hotaru felt a little less anxious. She lifts her trembling paw up, and slides it through the air as lightly and gently as she can. She leans into the motion, her spine aligning and curving up. The cool air caresses her spine, penetrating the thin fur and skin to reach her protruding bones. Shuddering at the sensation, she finally meets Aranya's eyes. Immediately she is caught in a trance, unable to look away.
Her mind halts, scrambling for leverage against the icy shock.
After a few paralyzing moments of terror, the calm after the storm arrives. Her body takes over, and she rises from her submissive position. Still very small even at her full height, her confidence rises for every inch her head goes up. She breathes a small sigh, collecting her jumbled thoughts. This wolf was not going to hurt her. If she was, she would have done it when she was too afraid to move.
She was still somewhat nervous, but not so much as to be completely immobile.
"I'm just passing through."
