lol this thread will not go as well as i planned?
The canine before very appeared very-nearly corpse-like, as if he had been dead of starvation some time ago and buried, only to be cruelly pulled from the earth once more. There were bloodied eyes, brilliantly red, but they were deep-set into his skull, burning some strange fire that frightened and aroused her interest at once. The dark woman hesitated, her own eyes narrowing as she squinted and peered closely at the figure before her, too scrawny to be even called thin, everything about him drawn to a razor-sharp edge.
Though she had little doubt he was alive, there was a reek of death about him anyway, a gentle and clinging film of a scent, barely there. It was not something he had killed, nor was it the scent of a corpse itself, but his scent itself that smelled faintly of death. Or was that a smell? The coyote hesitated at this, unable to identify this as a feeling, a scent, a notion, or simply an imagined quality, and as quickly as she contemplated, breaking concentration, it was gone -- not so much dissipated as disappeared, leaving her to contemplate the reality of its existence in the first place.
“Eris,” she answered, her voice softer and shakier than she would have liked it to sound. She had lost whatever indifference she had upon first sighting him, instead, the appearance of that shadow, that apparition or hallucination or whatever it had been, had swayed her confidence. There was no shrinking back from the hybrid, however -- instead, there was faint fascination mixed in with that hesitant look fixed upon her face.
