The wolf who wandered into view was breathtakingly large. In its secui form, it stood at almost the same height as the broken metal skeletons strewn about the highway. Jaden glanced along the dark scarred fur as it sat a little ways away and looked at him up and down emotionlessly. The body seemed fierce and dangerous.

“You are in way. It is not wise to get in way.”

Her words were heavily layered in a feminine accent that, surprisingly, Jaden recognized. He quickly snapped out of his momentary stupor and realized he had been staring dumbly. “My apologies.” Jaden breathed as he prepared to step aside. A hesitant movement stopped his as she stepped a little closer and sampled the Optime’s scent. The air gave her scent to Jaden as well. Familiarity rang again from memories of Jaden’s freshly left behind life. Luperci who traded metals to his former pack had a similar accent and smell to them, under the salty odor which stained the foreign sailor’s coats. What they had called themselves, Jaden could not recall. He had never really interacted with them much. It had been the lower members of the packs who dealt with trading and learning other languages. When he had spoken with them, they had all had a cold mentality and personality. Whether that was because they knew of the atrocities Jaden had committed (his pack boasted of them) or because that simply was the way all sea crossing foreigners were, was questionable. There are so many foreign people in this land Jaden thought.

Why you not shoot? In Russia, that could have been difference of life and death.”

Russian! The name clicked like a perfectly placed puzzle piece in his mind. She was Russian. Jaden shouldered his bow. Even if the wolf decided she was going to attack, the weapon would be useless at this range, “I wouldn’t fire on a stranger.” No matter how intimidating,he added to himself. “That turns a stranger into an enemy, and I'd like to avoid making anymore enemies then I need too.” Jaden decided to step out of her way and leaned against one of the broken-down cars so she could pass if she chose not to stay. “Russia? That is quite a ways to come stranger,” He said pleasantly, “what brings you so far from home?”
