the company we keep
#2
The coyote curled around her pups, quietly telling them of the time Coyote tricked Bear, claiming that she could see his future at the bottom of a deep pond. Loki and Ananse sat still, listening awestruck as the words wove through the air. Her voice rose and fell with the pattern of the tale, letting it truly come to life in what was around them. They weren't nearly settled enough when a sound came from below. Finishing the story Terra slipped out, peering to see what was there. Her pups came after her, tripping around her legs. Nuzzling them Terra sent them back inside the room before heading down.

The voice wasn't that of anyone she knew. It did sound friendly, so probably not someone who had plans against the pack or those inside this house. She still kept fairly close to the shadows when she stood surveying the rather large dog standing just inside the house. His features were firm, with obvious determination in them. Also a touch of uncertainty, which was always useful. She could keep him off balance that way. Shifting into optime form Terra let long hair cascade down, doing her best to keep on all fours as her limbs stretched, spine adapting to two legs. Feeling satisfied she stood, smiling down at the stranger. Hello. What brings you here?
