No familiar to speak of, not much to her name besides, well, her name. At the very least, groundbound, the serf kept her coat meticulously clean, right down to in between her meaty broad toes. But for a moment his dancing about in the sky had mesmerized her enough to pause.

As he neared the ground, she rose, looking to see where among the trees he'd go. One of her ears flicked as some early winter bug fell from it. She prowled, a stocky cat built of power and ambush and confidence.

Maybe it would be fun. Maybe it would be dangerous. Maybe it would be both. Maybe something else entirely.
