Test Your Luck

Walk | Talk | Think

The grumpy, antisocial wolf thought she might get away when Jak took his seat, thought he might keep it as she continued to walk around and past him in her search for something to take the itch off of her season. She was still unsure what it was exactly that she looked for, wishing that she had a name or a description to go off of, but this was unfamiliar ground for her, an area of research she had paid little attention to. She should have asked Max about it a long time ago, but there was no sense in beating herself up over that now, especially given the fact even thinking about him only served to irk her more. Was there no end to how high her irritation could grow?

But she should have known better. I'm cursed, damn it. Cursed! Her retreating steps ceased with a stomp of a forepaw, her ears pinning and her brows furrowing darkly over her icy, silver-blue eyes. With a sharp turn of her head she set her gaze upon Jakart as he attempted to halt her progress, realizing as she did that he was far closer than anticipated. Their shoulders nearly touched he was so close, and the way her body answered, not altogether averse to it, made her hastily step to the side to shift away from him. "Everything!" she snapped, not intending to but unable to help herself as the answers to his inquiries came all at once. "Everything's wrong, and I can't do anything about it. I don't even know what I'm looking for!"

The grey-legged wolf felt strained and rigid, taut as a bowstring without a means to release the tension. Her outburst had helped, though only minimally. Maybe she should have yelled more? It was too late for that. She could not muster up the nerve to rant off anything else, and honestly she was annoyed with herself that she had in the first place. She was not looking for pity, or help, both of which she suspected Jakart might offer her for her outburst. But what was said could not be taken back. Aw hell, she had already started talking anyway. "And no," she added in a low, sharp voice, "I don't remember your name." Why not answer all of his questions if she was going to answer the others.
