Snippet #1865102

Ellie's eyes flickered to Gidon as he walked in, glancing over the form of his human guise before looking back to Aura. Crossing her arms over her chest, she tilted her head to one side, her brow furrowing as the other wolf began to rapidly explain why she'd called the both of them together.

So, she'd possibly smelled another wolf nearby? Judging by the tone of Aura's voice, it wasn't just some regular stray dog that she was talking about. Not even a wolf in the sense that humans referred to wolves. Aura must have been talking about a wolf like them. So that was the smell that had made Ellie so uncomfortable! Could it be true? Or was it possible that Aura had just smelled something familiar that sent her off on this little tizzy. The other wolf was prone to excitement, after all. Who could blame her? In a place like this, newness was almost welcome. Anything beyond the stark, freezing cold and the boredom of a continuously empty bar was an opportunity that could be jumped upon.

She had her own opinion on the subject, of course, but it didn't seem as if Aura was looking for her approval or disapproval. Aura's eyes were fixed on Gidon, even though Ellie could detect a sort of rebellious independence rising from within the girl. Her ability to sense others emotions had kicked in full-force. Breathing in through her nose, she sighed, letting her arms fall to her sides as she went to the front door.

"I'll go take a look." she explained. No sense in having Aura do something reckless. It could have been a stray, or something more sinister, but there would be no way of knowing (and no way of sating Aura's curiosity) without going to investigate the source.

Whether or not Gidon decided to come was up to him. She figured that he would want to go back to bed, especially if this turned out to be nothing. When she opened the door, the chill breeze brushed over her skin, pushing her bright red hair back away from her face.

She actually smiled.

"Mind if I take a small break, boss?" she asked Gidon.
