He turns back to face me and I immediately drag out my dagger placing it in front of his throat. Unfortunately for me, he thought to do the same with his own silver dagger.
He looks in my eyes and smirks. "Well won't you look at that?" He says, not...

Beautiful.
That's the word I would use to describe this wolf in front of me. The one thing that stands out, the eyes.
'Such a cutie!'
"Hello there." I cut the silence.
The wolf looks down at my ankle with its bright pink eyes. It walks up to me slowly as if not to scare me away.
Why haven't I ever seen this wolf before?
It reaches me and nudges my knee slightly. Maybe it's asking about my ankle?
"Are you asking about my ankle?" I ask.
The wolf looks back up at me and nods.
"I thought a gnome tricked me by going down a path, so I ignored it going a different direction. Turns out it used reverse psychology or something. Then I slipped off this small slope," I pointed at the muddy hill, "and I think I sprained my ankle."
The wolf walks over and lowers themselves next to me while turning its head and looking at me expectantly.
"You want me to hop on your back?" I ask.
The wolf huffs and nods.
I hesitantly throw my foot over them and make myself comfortable. Its fur is so soft!
The wolf rises and begins to tread through the forest carefully, so I don't slip off.
"What's your name?" I blurt out.
It stops and tilts his head up to look at me.
Oh right.
Can't talk.
"If you grant me access, I can mind-link you." I say.
The wolf looks confused, but I feel access granted in my mind.
'Hey. I'm Scarlett.'
'I'm Justin,' he says while facing ahead and beginning his journey once again. 'Are you a wolf too? How can you mind-link?'
'I'm not a wolf. I have one though, my dad used to be one. I have the hearing, sight, mind-link, and a wolf in my head but I can't shift.'
'Was your dad part of the Galaxia Pack?'
'Yes. He passed away when I was around 5 from a broken heart.'
'I'm sorry to hear that.'
His steps quicken since there aren't many roots to trip on. I hold his fur and lean forward slightly.
'I'm taking you to the pack doctor by the way. You just hopped on no questions asked.' He mused.
'Yeah, I figured you would take me to the pack. That's where I need to go anyway.'
'Do you live there?' He asks, confused. 'If so, I don't recognize you.'
'No, I don't. I live in the West. I was here a few weeks ago though.'
