Mizuki had nearly finished her catch when a sudden, albeit hushed, thought from behind her caused her to jump to her feet, ignoring the jolt of pain that went through her side as she did. [color=a187be][i]"Announce your own name and I shall announce mine."[/i][/color] She slowly backed away from the male. By his scent she could tell he belonged to one of the packs in the area, and he was quite honestly surprised to see her on their turf. 

Mizuki mentally sighed, represented physically by a short burst of air out her nose. [color=a187be][i]"Are those who live in a pack really so sheltered that they startle at the sight of a lone wolf?"[/i][/color] She thought in silence a moment, being careful not to project anything to this pack wolf. [color=a187be]At least he is only cautious of me so far. Perhaps this pack wolf may let me go without a fight.[/color] 

She sighed again and sat by her rabbit, flicking her ears in annoyance at needing to constantly [i]negotiate[/i] for her freedom. [color=a187be]How can one stand to allow someone else to dictate everything they will do in their life?[/color] She shook her head slightly as she banished the thought from her mind, once again addressing the pack wolf. [color=a187be][i]"If you wish me to leave I will go without a fight. Simply show me the way to the edge of your territory. I, most likely, would not return of my own will."[/i][/color]
