The End

Her mind is at lost as she stares down at the tiger marked wolf, pale ears flick forward as he speaks, returning her greeting- his voice soft. 'You scared me.' He says, and she blinks, looking away, guilt in her eyes. "I scared myself." She whispered. She's young, she always knew death was near, but today she opened its door and nearly walked into its house. The realization of her own mortality is nearly too much. She realizes she's still standing over him and she backs away slowly, so that he can stand. Awkwardly, her eyes watch him and she feels her jaws open and hears her words before she processes them. "You never told me your name." She says suddenly, and she realizes that its true. It was the nameless stranger that saved her, she doesn't even know who he is. She waits, standing slightly away from him- though part of her wishes to be closer to him. For the moment, she doesn't want to leave his side, she wants to feel him.
