[html]the better of two evils
The young male had to suppress a grin as he seemed to startle the other. He did not know why he took pleasure in such a thing, as normal as it was, but he did. Perhaps it was because the nameless creature had no right to be where he was, and he might have needed a good scare. And although it was not really a good scare that Merit had given him, it was something.
Appearance-wise, the coyote appeared quite normal, with a coat consisting of greys and browns, these hues darkening and lightening at various places. What the boy did not like, however, was thought almost, because surely there must have been something in them. But that thought might have been incorrect, too innocent. But he was not yet grown, he had yet to understand the heartlessness that some wolves possessed.
The good thing - well, good for those other than him - was that, at his age, he gave far too much the benefit of the doubt.

Oh,Merit murmured, his ears folding back as he thought. Had he seen the male in question, anywhere? But before he was too deeply lost in thought, the boy noticed a small detail about the story that was... fishy.
Why would a coyote adult be here?Within reason, he really did not understand why he would be there. Unless his father, too, was lost, but even then, areas claimed by packs were usually noticeable.
