Just Sleep

So lost in thought was he, that the brute didn't even notice the female's approach. It was somewhere in a combination between exhaustion and contemplation that he's sense had wandered off. However, here, in this peaceful place, her appearance wasn't enough to cause him to react violently, but that was perhaps also thanks to the exhaustion. So he merely remained where he was laying on the floor. Turning his head, his expression still calm, the eyed her. A big woman with glowing yellow eyes. It took him a moment to process just what he beheld. Fate had a way of being a cruel mistress yes, but her rebellious sister was Coincidence, who fought to counteract this. Because the woman that Newol beheld was probably the most gorgeous wolf he'd seen yet in Alacritis. And before her sat Newol, with his own high pedigree.

But she seemed troubled by something, and that Newol understood too. It was mid day outside, but here in the dark and dim cave, with the soft blue light reflecting off the water, it felt like it was late. Very late. So the brute had nothing on his mind other than to simply remain and be calm. Finally his voice met the stone walls, easy and soft, with a hint of welcome in his words. "Relax." a hint of a smile came to his scared muzzle. "This is a sanctuary." Hopefully those words would be enough to set her at ease.
