Walls

The wall, lonely, isolated, beaten down on the outside but still strong on the inside. It was a nice place to visit when one wanted to think, and to be alone. That's what the fox like female was at the moment, alone. Alphonso was safe at a den they had claimed together in a place that was warmer and safer for the little gecko. Isabella loved her small friend but even friends needed distance sometimes. Besides, how they interacted made her worry. Burning thoughts overtook her mind as she walked on looking proud, dominant and controlled.
"To be around a friend so much may make me soft. I may get too comfortable, show too much emotoin. And yet, he knows how I am, how I act and sometimes can read my true feelings. Perhaps that is not so bad I just cannot get used to being so relaxed, so weak around others. Even now as the weather changes I want to act foolish. Roll in the grass of spring, run about and wag my tail. No..I must keep those urges hidden and must never act upon them. Last time I did such a thing another found me. I must be more careful next time."
As she walked on she was careful to not let her own thoughts distract her. As she walked her icy blue eyes scanned the area and though her hears were up and proud they were going to pick up any sound that came near. Coming up to the end of the wall she paused catching scent of another, most likely on the other side of it. Her ears turned to catch a whisper as her eyes looked forward to a man that crossed the wall, not yet noticing she was there. The man was white with blue eyes. Ironically the last time she was at this wall she met a white male but this one was clearly not the same wolf. He either did not notice her yet or did not acknowledge he noticed her. She was of a small frame, close to the wall an somewhat away from the end of it so it would have been easy to overlook her. Looking at the man she thought of how conversation had brought her knowledge then perhaps it could help her thoughts now. And it could offer a bit of training and reassurance if she could keep her emotions hidden "Better to face the stranger than run like a silly prey-thing. I am many things, but cowardly prey I am most certainly not."
Moving away from the wall she made herself more visible as she set her eyes on the man, sizing him up and looking for any sign of a threat. "I thought I was alone in this barren land, but I always seem to be wrong on that thought in the north." He voice was a chill fit for the end of winter and could either be taken as very calm or somewhat unfriendly." Falling silent she waited for the reply of the man, it would be a good way to gauge his personality. She didn't feel much like giving her name yet, that was something that could wait even if it was the more polite thing to do, she didn't quite feel like being her normal more polite self at the moment.
