Lala had been sleeping in, having a lazy morning peacefully basking in the sun near the entrance of her den. Fully relaxed, she listened cheerfully to the sounds of life all around her. So many different creatures, all sharing the same habitat. For a moment, it seemed like paradise. Bird song in the distance set the stage for a myriad of musicians; crickets chirping, beetles scuttling, a jerboa rustling in the bushes.....suddenly she honed in on a new sound. It was pawsteps, not as loud as a lion....maybe a hyena? She jumped to her feet, ready to defend herself at a moments notice and then she caught wind of the unmistakable scent of wild dog. A wave of excitement rushed over her, it had been quite some time since she had encountered another of her own kind.
Without thinking she started off in the direction of the scent. Having spent her life as a loner she wasn't sure how she was supposed to approach, but she had been so lonely lately she couldn't let this chance just pass her by. As she got nearer to the stranger she crouched down, slowing her steps and doing her best to move silently through the tall grass. She could see him in the distance, his stark white fur and large stature made him appear somewhat imposing against the bright sky. Fear and anticipation crept up on her but the desire to socialize was stronger. For a moment she considered tucking tail and running away. He was headed towards her and hadn't seemed to notice her yet. She swallowed hard, mustered up all of her courage, and rose to her feet. She was directly in his line of sight now. Ears flattened and tail wagging gently, she took a few small steps towards him, carefully observing his body language to see if he was friend or foe.
