As Luck Would Have It

She reacted a lot stronger than he thought she would. Stormy eyes grew wide as she spun and dropped into the most defensive and submissive stance he'd seen. None of his family would have responded this way, and he didn't think other wolves could be so terrified of him. Infact this was the second stranger that reacted as if he were some scary looking bad guy. He quickly shook his head and took a couple steps back, lowering it towards the ground. Ears would twist back as he whined, not liking that he had scared her so. "I am terribly sorry, little lady" He said in the gentlest of voices, his tail swishing behind him as he tried to assume the least scary and aggressive of stances that he could. He didn't like when strangers were scared of him, especially the way she reacted.
He glanced down at the deer under her paws and inclined his head towards it. "I merely wanted to congratulate you on your catch, little lady." He said softly before settling on his haunches, his head low and his shoulders tucked along his scruffy neck. How could someone so loving look dangerous to many different wolves? He would have to work on it, ask the opinion of his family. He couldn't be that scary right? "Are you alone?" Perhaps it wasn't the best question to ask to calm her down and consider him less threatening, but he wanted to know if that was why she was so defensive, why she reacted so strongly to his mere presence. Maybe she didn't know how to defend herself properly, and so was always on her toes about strangers. It wasn't right for someone like her, with such skill as a huntress, to always be tense. "It must be exhausting..."
