Dusty's eyes scanned the trees, seeing nothing. "...I... I don't know. I can't see anything..." Dusty turned back to Sky, about to say that it was probably nothing and they should ignore it, when he heard a snarl and sharp claws and teeth bore into his flank. Dusty reared in shock, then kicked the creature off, turning to face his attacker. It was a wolf, now wounded, but still circling. "Run, Sky!" Dusty shouted.

At the sight of a wolf, Sky froze, not sure how to deal with the situation after her last wolf encounter. Dusty's voice seemed silent at first as he kicked the wolf off him, then it began to ring through her delicate cream ears, until the pitch found balance. Sky's nostrils flared as a defense mechanism, she looked at Dusty as he told her to run, her ears pinning while the injured wolf circled, she looked back to where the stream was then at Dusty "Oh ok... Come on, if we can get across the river then that's more work for the wolf, we should also have the advantage of being on dry land and kicking to threaten it if it tries to cross" She explained rearing hoping to back up the wolf so they could run, making her way towards the forest opening
