Hallo! XD Word Count: 508
The child before her was a strange sort—the moment they came into sight of one another, the dark little pup seemed to be overcome by complete shut-down mode. The silver-furred hybrid was still on hyperalert, still scenting the air for Haku with her nose, though the only scent of him was stale and wafted from the shadowy coat of the Dahlian wolf. Child, enemy, child, enemy. The hybrid's mind swung wildly between the two and for a split she began to advance, her foreleg twitching as she began a step toward the smaller canine that she killed midway through, the leg falling back to the earth. The Centurion remained where she was, burning golden eye seeking the pale blue of the other canine. That blue was eerily familiar, reminding her of Haku's brilliantly pale gaze. This child was black-furred, however, and the tingle of familiarity Kaena felt from her was from to Svara Thames, not Haku Soul. Still, Kaena had barely spent more than a few hours with the Thames woman, hardly long enough for her to be able to recognize the facial features of that wolf in this one.
There was an answer from the other canine, and the woman sighed a soft noise of relief, relaxing but a hair. She did not truly take the child's word for it; her coat ears rotated and twitched constantly, absolutely alert for any noise of more approach. The fact that the child would be left alone did not bode well in Kaena's mind; she held little hope for Haku's morality but she would have thought he was smarter than to allow children of his pack to roam so far from home. This one was perhaps three or four months old; thanks to her many children, Kaena was quite able to identify puppies' ages in most instances. A myriad of thoughts raced through the coyote's head. Was this Haku's child? Their eyes were of quite a similar shade, though it was of course possible that the Papaver's eyes simply had not changed yet.
It was the sable wolf's turn to ask a question, one that took the coyote woman aback. She hadn't realized it but it was true, she did stink of fear. Almost ashamed, her tattered ear lay flat back against her head, though the other still rotated around, seeking the noises of the enemy. "Fear, girl. These woods aren't safe," the hybrid said, too bothered by the scent of the enemy to take into account the fact that this was in fact a puppy, incapable of doing much damage even with her needle-sharp children's teeth. Those teeth were not meant for ripping and tearing flesh as an adult canine's were, and certainly they'd still hurt, but it was nothing for the hybrid woman to snap a child's neck. She'd done it before, during the Aremys war. She'd torn Maeryn to pieces. "Is your father as blue-eyed as you are?" the hybrid asked, smiling a nervous grin meant to encourage the other canine into admitting something about herself.
