The canyon was so... Huge. Her eyes had never seen anything like it. It was a magnificent sight, of course, but also a rather deadly one at that. Her frame, so much smaller than any other gray wolf she'de ever seen, was a rather delicate thing and she could see herself slipping and falling down, down, down... Into total darkness. She didn't even want to think about that. It sent shivers down her spine. A couple blinks and a hefty deep breath were just enough to keep those disastrous thoughts at bay as she climbed even higher into the canyon crevices.
She didn't weigh much at all at the moment. She was light as a feather from all her traveling, and it allowed her to step where anyone else may have fallen through. She would take her paws and simply run across, being sure to apply as little pressure as possible as she seemed to just glide over. Though she was especially out of breath now, she felt the need to continue on. However, she was fully aware of what the consequences could bring if she did, and she decided to stop and settle in a cave that she'de managed to stumble upon. It appeared empty and without an inhabitant, and that was a plus. It was also a relatively small space, perfect for her though. She eased her way into the crevices and nearly collapsed from the powerful desire to just rest for a while. She would need to head out to find something to eat soon, though. She snuggled down into her little pit and was quickly drifting off to sleep. Her first time in this place that had remained unheard of to her ears, and here she was taking a nap. She'de hate herself later...

Soft golden hues in the fem's coat shone lightly in the sun. Large pawed lassie stumbled around the rocks, carefully lifting up and watching out for sharp corners. She limped slightly from already hurting herself earlier. Not the best place in the world for a two-legged's pet. But they abandoned her, therefore she had to explore..someplace. Humans were on her nerves. Can't a girl get out? Without being taken out. Roxy shook her coat, a few stray hair fell to the ground. She was getting thinner faster and faster. Congrats genius. Hunting wasn't her forte. But finding trouble seemed to be.
Silky audits raised. Dark hazel pools scanned the area. Her sniffer told her someone. or something was around. She peeked around corners and found herself looking into a pit. Her brow raised quizzically as she watched the little dog like beast rest. Cautiously she moved closer, just a step or two. Her eyes bulged a little. A wolf, uh.. She told herself silently. She began to back up, unsure of how friendly she'd be if she woke up and found a mutt watching her sleep.

The small wolfess's nose and cheeks began to twitch in the peak of her dreams, though she was unable to wake from them. Before the crazy dreams could provoke her out of her dozing, her ears caught the faint sounds of paw pads hitting solid rock, and it caused her to awake with a jerk. She shot up, nearly hitting her fragile back off the roof of the tiny cave, and stared out hard against the blinding sun in her unadjusted eyes. She blinked it away to see another being standing before her. This one, not a wolf, nor coyote, or even any other distinct canine she'de ever seen, but possibly a mutt. Now fully startled, her hackles rose and she stared hard at the stranger. "Who are you?!" she growled out through gritted fangs, ready to defend herself if need be. However, if it ever came to that, she'de rather run.
Roxy
The hair raised on the back of the Retriever's spine. Her audits went back prtectively. "Huh? I uh,...I'm...Roxy!" She spit out quickly, kinda pressured from the wolf's reaction. But hey, you'd be creeped to if someone was watching you sleep.

Honi watched this dog with little interest. She was only wanting to get around and out of this crevice. So, first things first. Not even paying attention to the words yet, she slunk down and eased her way out, circling around so she was perfectly able to flee if it had to come down to that. Her eyes were locked on the other. At first she wasn't sure if she should give her own name. "Why were you staring at me?!" she growled. Anyone could tell that she was clearly aggitated at having been watched while she slept.
