Word Count → 222 :: First time greeting, woooo! xD But I shall be on almost constantly today, so hopefully this can go fast for you and Angel-kins.
Vesper turned her coyote-large ears toward the howl, interest piqued as much by the medley of voices within as by its very presence in the air. The winter day was a cold one, but secui bulk wrapped in a thick coat had kept the hybrid warm during the freezing hours of the morning. Now, on her patrol, she kept to the smaller shape she had been born with as four slender paws led her along the border trail. It was a track well-worn by generations of watchmen and marked every few yards with the strong, fiery coyote scent of the clan.
The coywolf paused to rub her side against a tree, sniffing the air. The howl had been longer and deeper than the coyote yowls that echoed occasionally throughout the Waste, pointing to someone who had mixed blood—though that was not a problem for her.
She wasn’t any less vigilant when she followed the scent of the older male, however. Quietly, she padded to the edge of the borders to see the tall dark man standing there. His frame was an intimidating one, large and muscled, though she met his ice blue eyes with strength in her own.
“You’re at the borders to Inferni,” Vesper said, her features smoothed over and her voice aloof but not unkind. “What’s your business here?”
