There were many things that impressed Dragonfly (she was both easily amused and easily impressed), but being impressed and downright astounded were different emotions. And the wolf that approached her was astounding. Her movements were smooth and precise, but more striking was her sheer size. She was the tallest wolf Dragonfly had seen! Her lean figure gave her a distinct dancer-like quality. She was both strong, and lithe.
Moreover, her fur was the finest Dragonfly had seen. Oh, she’d been around glossy, sleek, plush, and velvety fur before, but that fur was immaculate. It was as if it’d never been torn nor shed nor even mildly displaced. Dragonfly, who was stunning in her own right, felt quite intimidated by the divine grace that strode towards her, the ideal picture of the perfect female form. How wonderful it must be for that wolf! The males must lavish her with compliments and adorn her with flowers.
Dragonfly couldn’t help but stare in admiration for a moment, though she was going to look away soon. SHe swore she would (it was rude to stare). But then is became apparent the direction the female was taking. She was heading straight for Dragonfly! Oh no! Dragonfly felt her fur fluff up in anxiety. Oh no! On her grooming day! On her grooming day, she’d been spotted by a female more glorious than herself and certainly would look like a squat duckling next to a elegant swan.
Her words were all the more terrible because of Dragonfly’s self consciousness. Dragonfly smiled painfully and itched a paw at the ground. She responded, “I uh… I use the woody grass to brush out the snarls. After, I soak my fur. It makes it easier to pull out the grass and it soaks off the dirt. But is that… not proper? How is it that you maintain your fur?”
Dragonfly gazed up at her, nervous at having her tactics questioned. It made sense to her, who hadn’t been taught about the insects. But she was from the tundra. There weren’t many bugs up there, and even when their were, winter killed them off quickly. Did living in a more variable climate different what was required for fur maintenance?! She certainly didn’t want to be full of bugs all winter.
