The imagination was a wonderful thing and while I had envisioned a wolfess much different from the lady in front of me, I was not disappointed. Silver, after all, was a splendid color. It went well with the sleek black of my fur. Age was simply a number anyways and why couldn't I find a suitable partner in one younger than me? It meant that they would keep me on my toes for a long time. I can see the grin from a distance. Clearly the girl is in deep thought, maybe she envisioned a knight in shining armor coming to save her. While I was brave and dashing I wasn't sure I was ready to be some savior. She looks surprised to see me, just as I was surprised to see her, but it makes this moment all the more grand. I can't help the way I eat her up with my eyes - she is my date after all, she knew what to expect.

The shy look is met with a dashing grin from me. It is cute in a way for I had known many females and most of them were not shy. Refreshing, I would call it. But it was her words that captured me because she did not offer back some soft-hearted response. She took what I gave her and then gave it right back! I couldn't help the ambitious chortle that escapes from me as I beam at her, my eyes clearly twinkling in amusement and admiration. "I could never be anything BUT clever, adventurous, and able-bodied. Does my body not look able to you?" I stand then, turning around and glancing over my shoulder at her with a wink so that she might get a good look at my sleek figure. I pout playfully as I turn back around. "While I might be older, that by no means makes me lame, dear lady. I am Jackdaw, tracker extraordinaire. Let me guess... your name is... Moonlight? Moonbeam? Goddess of the Moon? Oh tell me it is something with moon, please, for your silver is as lovely as a moonbeam."

Okay, so maybe I played it up a bit, but I liked being a courtier, I liked being a rogue and teasing. Besides, she was beautiful, and flirting made a female look ever more lovely. At least she would know that with me, there would be no awkwardness of a first date.
