    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura


    [open]  it just keeps me from trouble

    The other wolf does not flee when I shift, confirmation of my suspicion that it is something more powerful than a wolf. Exactly what it is I cannot be sure, but I recognize the interested prick of its ears and the lack of aggression as it steps forward.  Reassured, my own dark ears perk up and I step closer as well, cautiously extending my nose in greeting.

    I can see the pale marking on the other’s brow in more detail from this distance. A crescent moon, pale against his purple fur.

    Behind me, I hear a distant rustle in the undergrowth. The rabbit. I’d forgotten about it entirely, but at the sound I glance back over my shoulder. Then my eyes flick back to the stranger, and this time when my head tilts it is a clear invitation.

    'Hunt?'

    He might have been hunting for a meal, I’d realized, a meal that I’d scared off without even thinking about it. Yet he hadn’t seemed too bothered by it, at least not judging by his greeting. Still, helping him catch it would be the least I could do. Not to mention it has been a while since I hunted any way other than alone, and I have missed it.
