With her abrupt greeting, the golden woman jumped and spun, fueled by adrenaline and sudden fear as her smaller frame whipped around to face the emotionless gaze that awaited her. Sreda watched the way that gold fur stood on end for a few moments, those bright green eyes flickering with subtle nuances of fear and post-traumatic stress.
Sreda waited for the other to compose themselves, silently reveling in her midnight fright. The gold wolf then apologized, for whatever reason that Sreda could not quite fathom. Had she slipped some sort of poison into Sreda’s mouth mid-conversation? Now that would be a fun party trick.
But she didn’t feel sick.
Pity.
Sreda’s ears flicked, amethyst eyes twinkling darkly.
“I did not know you were here.”
I noticed,Sreda returned, voice even and unyielding. She would then press herself past the stranger, crossing the threshold of her cavern so that she could deposit the squirrel skull in one of the many strange receptacles she’d created. Really, it was just a mess of arranged sticks, but don’t tell Sreda that. For in her head, there was pristine organization. There was science.
The woman would raise her head, turning her curt gaze back toward the stranger that lingered at her doorstep.
Come in,she’d encourage, flicking her tufted ears.
You came all this way, after all. And I don’t get to meet many strangers.She would turn herself to fully face the stranger, finally lowering her rump and gazing toward the other down the bridge of her pointed nose. Unblinking.
