A fresh wound glistened on your beastly limb. When he tried to approach with soft gestures and a voice that wouldn't steady, you didn't answer with recognition. A guttural, warning snarl tore through the damp air. Guilt hung between you, mixed with the sharp scent of fear and the fragile, stupid hope that your humanity was still buried somewhere under all that fur.
