there is nothing to fear

She had been damaged, of course, but it had been a long time since the fall. They had entered the fifth month of the new year, and it had been almost eight months since her attack. The hybrid woman was nowhere near complete, nowhere near whole again—but there was recovery evident in her, of course, and this was a vast improvement over the creature she'd been for the last two weeks of October. The silver-shaded hybrid had not so much as moved from her own place of residence for the first two weeks, and now she moved easily within Inferni's territories. Sometimes she took to the peripheral territories, but this was not so often—she knew Haku still lurked outside somewhere, and perhaps now he hunted her.

The other canine seemed frightened, and the hybrid tilted her head at this, though there was no emotion evident on her scarred face beyond this slight indication of puzzlement. “Well, this is Inferni—we're not a pack, not exactly anyway,” the hybrid explained. This canine seemed rather young—it was clear she was not a puppy, of course, but neither was she a grizzled veteran of the world. A younger Kaena might have snapped at another calling Inferni a pack, but here she did not. “We like to call ourselves a clan. Coyotes, you know?” the hybrid added, the ghost of a smile lighting on her face for just an instant.

“Kaena Lykoi, Centurion,” she said, introducing herself with little flourish. Her surname was enough of an ornament to the silver-shaded hybrid. “What would you do for us?” the silvery woman asked, curious to know what this canine could provide. Her strange markings were unique; Kaena had not seen anything like them before, and the silvery hybrid wondered if her skills would be relevant to that coloration.
