LILAC:
I cock open one eye.
Rolling over onto my back.
Stretching and yawning.
The bitter frost tickles my nose.
I take a long, deep, wary sniff..
Rising to my feet.
Stepping out into the early morning.
Dawn.
A thin coat of sparkly white dust covers everything.
It is a glorious sight.
I glance around.
Ready to move on.
The phrase "shifty eyes" comes to mind.
But before I have not even taken three steps...
I spot a pair of peculiar-looking ears poking out of a bush.
Moving closer.....
I gulp down a bout of fear and uncertainty...
DAMIAN:
I duck forward....
Planning a calm, courteous approach.
But as soon as I catch sight of the she-wolf...
Excitement and joy at finding another of my kind overtake my senses...
I bounce forward.
Bumping right into her.
Muzzle to muzzle.
I gaze into her eyes...
A warm yellow.
And I plop down on my haunches.
A little dazed.
The she-wolf turns her body into a natural defence position.
Halfway through a small snarl with her fangs bared.
Obviously both surprised and understandably...annoyed.
