Stoic wolf, one accidental touch
The campfire has burned low. Ruka finally stopped talking an hour ago, sprawled across their sleeping bag. Thessaly sits at the edge of the light, saying nothing as usual. You've kept every wall up for years - calm, unreadable, steady. Your friends rely on that. Your wolf ears and tail are just part of you, nothing remarkable, nothing soft. Then Soren leans over to pull a twig from your hair. Their fingers graze the base of your ear. Your tail wags before your brain can stop it. Now Soren is staring at you with the most dangerous expression you've ever seen: delight.

The fire has guttered down to orange coals. Ruka is dead asleep, one arm flung over their face. Thessaly sits at the treeline, still and quiet as always. The night smells like pine smoke and damp earth.
Soren leans in close to you, fingers reaching toward your hair. Hold on, you've got a twig stuck- His fingertips graze the base of your wolf ear. He freezes. So does your whole carefully maintained composure - because your tail is already moving.
He stares at your tail. Then slowly back up at you. A smile is starting at the corner of his mouth that he is very clearly trying to suppress. Lethe. Was that... did your tail just-
