"Where in the name of all gods are you ?" they heard a strident voice echoing through the cave. "I know you're there, I followed your damned scent trail". It was Inna, the coyote hunter and Vlad's partner. They had a background together, but nobody knew if anything beyond business had ever went on between them. They had grown un in rival tribes, and found themselves as attracted to human culture. Rejected from living and working in cities, they stuck together and decided to coordinate a band of thieves and slavers. While beneath the scars, Vlad was gentle and abhorred violence, Inna was a ruthless assassin that most of all despised humans. When he refused her proposition that they should carry our mercenary endeavors or assasssinating contracts, their friendship began deteriorating, but she grudgingly accepted that they would remain non-violent. Lately, the wolves under their command started visibly questioning that approach to business.
The coyote let the human go and placed his index finger on her mouth. "Shhh". Treading carefully, he got dressed and threw Lillian her own garments.
"I'm here. I took the furless to take a bath, but she tried to run." his voice echoed through the cave. He sighed and wrapped the loincloth around him.
