The gentle voice that greeted him startled Hadley. He must have been wrong about the site being abandoned. Immediately he crouched down, ears flattened and tail tucked. Growing brave was more difficult than he'd thought. It wasn't synonymous with being free like he had thought. Hadley still had to fight off the idea that he was a slave, that he actually had rights of a sort. The various tools that he'd been looking for clattered to the ground, making plenty of noise.
Nervously he glanced over at the one who had frightened him. His eyes remained on the ground, not wanting to offend. The female had soft silver fur on her body. The scent of a pack clung heavily to her, and it was slightly familiar. Sorry. Thought this site was abandoned. His words were quiet, but he wasn't touched. Slowly he backed away, increasing distance between them. He partly straightened up, ready to crouch back down if necessary.
