stand up and look into the light
hag
Unfortunately for Hag she had very little self-preservation instinct to speak of. She didn't trust others per se, she simply lacked the normal fear responses that often led others to be more cautious around both others and things in general, so though the other wolf's tone wasn't threatening it would have hardly mattered if it was, she'd have reacted the same either way. Which was to humm quietly to herself, taking his answer and filing it away. His follow up question made her tilt her head again and she slithered free of her little nook, she moved lightly, hardly making so much as a noise as she dropped back down to the ground.
Hag approached the other wolf, watching him silently the whole time, though as she drew closer the light grew brighter and she frowned, blinking, her eyes weren't quite burning but it was rather a sort of tingling sensation. But he wasn't in the direct light so once she grew accustomed she kept moving towards him. The little wolf got closer than was probably considered polite before she stopped, personal space wasn't really something she had much concept of, and also she needed to be close enough for him to see. "My skin burns easily." She said it very matter-of-factly, it was after all a simple fact. "So I try to stay out of the sun, it hurts me." She gestured slightly behind herself, towards the space between her shoulder blades where she hadn't quite been able to reach the scabs so they remained, slowly healing. "I don't know many wolves who are like me, and because I stay out of the sun I was curious if this new red one was more painful." Was that a little disappointment? Hag didn't wish bad things on anyone in particular and certainly not this stranger but she'd have been fascinated to find out something about the colour had changed things. She'd already started thinking about what experiments she could have tried. Oh well.
