The Dancing Jackal
Aura took a deep breath to compose herself to go on her round-about story. "Well, You see, When I went to get the newspaper" She lifted the paper for effect. "It got busy on my way back and so I was going to take the back way and enter through the back door, but then I smelled, well I smelled garbage at first, but then. . ."She now lowered her voice. "I think I smelled another wolf. And I wasn't sure if I alone should go investigate, but I wanted to check with you first because, well, I'm not sure what to do in this sort of a situation.'
Now that her rant had come to an end, she breathed quick and shallow. Looking at the others faces, searching. Were they going to just dismiss her? Or would they consider what she said? She looked down to her feet, gathering herself, she looked back up to Gidon, hoping.She tried to hold his gaze with a confident smile, But her decision had been made, she would investigate, with or without them.
