I waited ever so patiently for the female to answer me, only bristling up once again when her male companion took a defensive posture. I may be young but I will not have any of this nervous-protective business that he has going on; if need be I will separate the two of them. Luckily for all of us he thinks better of it and eases himself back once more. I really didn’t want to be forced into dirty work if it could be avoided. The boy of my own age even seemed a bit intrigued by my presence, perhaps my exotic looks more than anything, his faded form moving toward me ever so slightly.

The pale female, however, was not so accepting of my company. Upon her quick turn to attention a look of surprise befalls her before irritation clearly sets in. As the boy moves closer and presses himself comfortingly toward the female, the singular eye of her own shifts to see him relax. It is clear that she is more cautious and perhaps a bit agitated that her male friend is so enraptured by my approach. I slightly shrug in silence toward her as a look of nonchalance takes over. I could not care any further about his strange reaction and his undivided attention. Everything that I had heard of interest had come from the small she-wolf.

Yet when he speaks in a tongue of which I am not accustomed to I cannot help but shift my attention to him momentarily. ”I’m sorry, I don’t understand…” One ear flicks back as I truly wish I could know of and speak such an exquisite language. The female then comes, her battered form emerging from the water as she questioned me bravely. A chuckle is all I could manage as my eyes swing to her now dripping figure on the rocks. ”Size isn’t everything but please… don’t flatter yourself with ever thinking that you could stand against me,” Arrogance, youthfulness, and a mindset ingrained into every fiber of my mind since birth; it was what fueled my words no matter how uncouth. ”Only long enough to catch your last words. I’m intrigued.” I speak again as I shift my posture, keeping the blood flowing and muscles from growing tired in the same position.
