"I can hold my breath. I can bite my tongue...

Wisteria [break]
Wandering Servant

[attr="class","heavenpeaktext"]

Oh, how exposed the plains made her feel. Deep down, Wisteria knew it was a natural place for her species to roam. After all, they were quick, and it was so plentiful for hunting. But this barren, snowy landscape was no winter wonderland for her.
[break][break]
So open, so exposed. Standing out against the snow no matter how hard she tried to keep to the rocks, she was vulnerable to the birds, the bobcats, even...no. If she thought of the wolves and coyotes as her predators now, then her entire purpose would be for naught. They could coexist. They had to. That was the whole reason she had found herself here, talking to this towering, curious, disgruntled looking wolf who could snap her up in one-
[break][break]
'Stop that!' her mind hissed.
[break][break]
The wolf was talking. She really should focus, ignore the urge to look warily to the sky, but it was so hard to...wait. What was she saying? "...maybe he'll get a laugh out of this," the wolf was scrutinizing her now, muzzle wrinkled as though she'd tasted something foul. "Or a snack."
[break][break]
Oh. Wisteria winced, ears pressing back as she lowered her head. Submissive. She probably deserved that. Inwardly, she cursed herself for not staying focused. 'They have every right to eat you if you can't even pay attention,' her mind scolded. Why did her thoughts always sound like that one coyote? 'You're lucky she's humoring you.'
[break][break]
Outwardly, she managed some words, gaze skittering anxiously between the she-wolf and a nearby tree. "I-I'll wait in that tree." It came out as more of a squeak, and the little fox winced again as the wolf snorted, pausing in her leave to glance back. She didn't say anything though - a small mercy - and Wisteria waited until her pawsteps began to quiet before unsheathing her claws and scurrying to the tree.
[break][break]
It was there that she curled into a crook of a branch, and waited.

[break][break][break]

"I can fake a smile. I can force a laugh...
[break]...I can dance and play the part if that's what you ask"
