he comes

Walk | Talk | Think

No longer hidden and completely exposed to the large, strange male, Anais once again held perfectly still. Her gaze traveled upward toward him in quick peeks, never anything more as if fearful of what he might do if her eyes met his for too long. He was so much larger than she was, even lying down. He was a mass of dark fur interspersed with shades of blue that covered a hulking frame that she suspected could stop her in her tracks simply by placing a paw on her tail. If he stood beside her, how far would she need to tilt her head back in order to look up into his face? The thought of their contrast was enough to make her worries manifest themselves in the form of a quick shiver that raced up her spine. At least he was at a distance for now.

When he addressed her, there was a notable sternness to his tone, an order given rather than a suggestion made, but still there was nothing hard or intimidating about it. His voice was soft, a gentle command meant to coax rather than force, and though she was still nervous she found herself compelled to do as he said. Nervously, slowly, Anais did lift her head, allowing her yellow-gold eyes to shift up and peer at the mountainous wolf as she did so. It just just slightly above even with her shoulders, higher than it had been but still too nervous to display anything more comfortable than that. She fidgeted on her paws, ears folded back meekly. Oh how she wished someone else was here with her.

While he spoke to her, answering the question she had posed, the unsteady girl studied the blue wolf openly. Never before had she seen someone with such strange, exotic colors. The closest she had ever gotten was Lebrah, her son, with his pale white fur marked over with red and blue stripes that resembled feathers, but those markings had been minimal. This was something else entirely. Though his massive size was undoubtedly intimidating, the closer she looked at him the less she saw of him as a hulking beast. He had sprawled out, minimizing the size of him, and his expression was not hard or threatening or even stern. It was soft, almost sweet, and he appeared to be going out of his way to make her comfortable and at ease in his presence.

A dire wolf. She had never heard of them, never seen another with that lineage before, but she could see what they were. They were wolves, large wolves who stood taller than the tallest wolf she had ever met. They must not have been incredibly common for her to have never seen another before, which made this meeting with this wolf, who sported such a vibrant color scheme on top of it all, more significant. Again she fidgeted, shifting a little and drawing herself a small, hopefully unnoticeable step closer. "Wh-what's your name?" she asked, her voice slightly louder than before though she could not get the words out without a small stutter. It was slightly embarrassing, but Anais was merely happy that she had been able to speak at all.
