She reminds me of Fjallraven, in the way she expects me to lash out at her. Her eyes lower and her ears fold back, and I begin to wonder if I am a scary looking wolf to receive these types of reactions. I am not a mean wolf, I could never harm or lash out against another without just cause; her simply running into me was a silly accident, not a reason for such action.
I am quick to reassure her with a tail wag and a smile. She calms immediately, and seems to become excited about the fact that I am mute. In my 6 years of life, I don't know if i've met another like myself or not. The only thing i'm sure of about my past was that I did at one time speak, but now, for some reason, I can no longer.
My split gaze watched her curiously as she stands, giving me a look which I understand as wait here. She dashes off, and I wait patiently, my eyes following where she had run off. She quickly returns, trotting back and carrying something within her mouth. My head tilts curiously as she drops it at my feet and I look down to notice that it is a daisy.
She noses it then noses at her own chest and it takes me only a second to understand the meaning behind this. I smile and nod my head to tell her I got it, mouthing 'Daisy' as proof. She tilts her head at me, asking who I was. If only I had the luxury of being named after a flower, or anything I could use as reference, instead I would have to mouth it to her and hope she could piece it together. Everlyse and Iblis had done so, so I know it is possible, then again they could speak to make sure they were saying it right.
'Reich' I mouth, repeating myself a couple of times, each time slower to show her the letters I was using so she could put them together in her mind.
