SSWM - 326
The woman faced the outside world conflicted. She had great reason to be, knowing that it was unlikely that she was welcomed here and yet still hoping to venture forth with in the territory. The tawny female faltered in her steps as she lingered on the border with her black nose pointed towards home. Would she give up that easily? The Lt General remembered her place among her own pack, and though rank matter not in a land not her own, Anu would be diligent in her responsibility to them. Communicating with fellow leaders was necessary, and if she could simply find Gabriel then Anu would not be seen as a rouge trespasser for long. The Dreamer had questions for him, though simple and even vague. Yet she could not help but wonder if he would simply have no time for her. Instead of overcomplicating it Anu turned with a new found bravery and caught the sight of a coyote in the not too far distance.
The wolf paused, fighting against the wind to take in its scent. The canine looked lean and slight from were Anu stood, and she pressed closer in hopes of giving a friendly greeting. That was what she was of course, nothing less then a friend. Anu, nor the pack she represented, would hope to be any but cordial to another non-threatening creature. Of course Anu held her resentments, as weak as they were, but none lived with in Inferni and she did not see the small creature that stood before her as one that would gain that title. As she approached Anu turned to the pristine form of neutrality. Her body held as little tension as she could manage and her tail flowed lowered behind her. The blue eyed female gave a small smile, and in her attempt to kill the distance that separated them took in the golden shade the other wore.
Pleasantly Anu called to her,
“Hello there.”
