Slow Kiki. Sorry!
Citlali was a good boy, one who was quiet and obedient, but she sometimes worried about him. He didn't look outside of her for friendship or interaction. Without others, she was sure he'd stagnate. In truth, it was concerning. As protective as she was, she loved him enough to want the golden coyote to have friends. As he approached her, she reached out to brush careful fingertips against his cheek; a subtle gesture that meant she cared. And she'd take him as far as he wanted while they searched for new materials for his works. He was an artist. She'd never allow that to be stifled.
Just as they started to set out, they were interrupted. Tlantli turned her head in the direction of the patterned female who spoke strange words toward them. Her fiery eyes narrowed, even as the woman introduced herself and asked about their identities. It wasn't out of distaste. More like thought. Tlantli crossed her arms, glancing at the boy who was too small to be her brother, but too old to be her child. "Aye ahm Tlantli Kimaris. This ess Citlali. He does not talk." It was truth enough; she rarely heard the voice of the boy unless directly spoken to, and often took it upon herself to speak for him. He didn't seem to mind.
One careful arm wrapped around the younger male's shoulders, out of protection, as she studied the female in front of her. It was a fur pattern she had never seen on anything, and Panda was clearly a wolf. It was not odd to see a wolf in Anathema. It was odd to be jumped upon, however, by an adult of the pack. Perhaps they were new. Perhaps they were curious. The golden coyote placed her other hand against her hip. "We were jus' going to collect somet'ing, for Citlali's work."
