It took a second or two, but the other wolf's tail slowly started to sway, and Mintaka took that as a personal victory. She wouldn't blame him for being frightened of her - after all, she was pretty scary (she wasn't) - but it was nice to know she hadn't intimidated him.

He was a little bigger than her, a little older. Pretty and spotted in a way that almost reminded her of Penny, and a little of Kane, but he had much more white on him, so perhaps he was more similar to Baal? Regardless, his fur was unique in its own way, and not for the first time, Mintaka was a little jealous of his spots.

Setting down the hare and moving a little closer, but not too fast, since that tended to overwhelm people, Mintaka let her own head lower to mirror his own. Was this a type of greeting? Was he scared? It was difficult to tell.

"Hi," she said, smile bright on her lips and tail still swishing behind her. It was always nice to meet someone new, and it took her mind off of the strangeness she was experiencing somewhere deep in her body.

Tipping her head to the side, Mintaka continued, "Were you calling for somebody?" Probably not her specifically, but it sounded like maybe he was trying to get someone's attention. Maybe he needed help?
